ICE is cracking down on people who follow them in their cars
ICE uses license-plate scanning and commercial data tools to track and arrest over 655 people under Title 18, Section 111 since last summer, officials and records show.
- Last month, ICE began arresting citizens who follow officers and storing names, photos, and license plates in an internal government database.
- Under Title 18, Section 111 of the U.S. Code, federal prosecutors have pursued at least 655 Trump administration prosecutions since last summer.
- Becky Ringstrom, suburban Minneapolis resident and mother of seven, followed federal immigration officers for about 45 minutes and was boxed in and arrested; she told Reuters, `I know what I'm doing is not wrong`.
- Former ICE official Deborah Fleischaker argued that arresting people for following ICE vehicles is 'inappropriate and unconstitutional,' after a federal judge's January order was paused by an appeals court.
- Privacy and tracking experts note that ICE uses the Mobile Companion app paired with Motorola Solutions and Thomson Reuters data to map vehicles and access Experian records, while state governments restricting license‑plate databases and three children hospitalized earlier this year raise civil‑liberties concerns.
