ICE uses Facebook’s backend to hunt their prey, with help from Palantir

Cory Doctorow reports:

Public records requests have shown that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement — who have continued and intensified Obama’s program of mass deportations and separation of families under Trump — uses Facebook’s logs, merged with logs from cellular carriers and analyzed by software from Palantir (Peter Thiel’s police-state arms-dealer) to track ~~immigrants~~ people they’re investigating.

Thiel also sits on Facebook’s Board of Directors.
