ICE plans to use AI and social media to target people. And they’re setting up shop in New England. (www.bostonglobe.com)

The Vermont-based contractors would work out of ICE’s National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center, which is located in a wooded Williston business park, not far from Burlington International Airport and Interstate 89.

The center is in an unmarked suite with tinted windows and surveillance cameras and is surrounded by a physical therapy practice, a café, and a field office for the state’s Department for Children and Families. The only clues to its purpose are a pair of American and Vermont flags outside and dedicated DHS parking spaces.

The center, which provides leads to ICE field offices around the country, is one of three branches of the agency’s Targeting Operations Division. A second branch, the Law Enforcement Support Center, is 1.5 miles away, in a secure, 75,000-square-foot building.

That two-story brick building blends into one of the state’s most popular shopping districts. It also houses ICE’s National Bulk Cash Smuggling Center, which targets transnational criminal enterprises.

Across the street is yet another DHS building, this one for US Citizenship and Immigration Services. North of Burlington, in the small city of St. Albans, is an ICE field office, where those being monitored by the agency must occasionally report.

So, are there any ongoing efforts to create a distributed doxxing database of these ICEcubes?

Lemmy could technically be used as one

Probably shouldn't use instances hosted in America if someone plans that. Also shouldn't use accounts that could be tied back to them.
