Politech Podcast Episode: "ICE’s Digital Dragnet: How Tech is Redefining Immigration Enforcement"
What happens when AI, facial recognition, and predictive algorithms meet immigration policy? In this eye-opening episode, hosts Dale Gibler and Mathew Newman take you inside ImmigrationOS—the $30M tech platform driving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) transformation into a real-time surveillance force.
We break down how ICE is leveraging massive data collection, mobile biometrics, and algorithmic scoring systems to target, track, and detain immigrants at an unprecedented scale. From workplace raids to health fair arrests, we explore the civil liberties at stake and whether technology is enabling racial profiling under the guise of “national security.”
