ICE Accused of Vast Surveillance of Left-Wing Activists
Original: ICE Is Running One of the Largest Anti-Left Surveillance Operations in US History
WIRED reports that ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit is carrying out far-reaching spying on left-wing activists, an operation the outlet describes as one of the largest anti-left surveillance campaigns in US history. The reporting compares the scale of the monitoring to the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements, raising concerns among readers about civil liberties and government overreach.
Why now: The comparison to historic surveillance campaigns like COINTELPRO-era crackdowns makes the alleged scale of ICE's spying alarming and highly shareable.
