Given ICE's unpopularity this is like trying a find a very specific piece of hay in a hay stack.

That's where AI come into play. This is why Palantir exists.

[general1465]

Palantir will give a lot of fake positives and overload remainder of ICE forces who will be chasing ghosts.

Heck even Google believes that I am a woman and is constantly showing me women hair and clothes products. And they are doing targeted data mining for ads business for decades.

This is exactly why palatir exists.

They data mine for you.

Seems divided along party lines unfortunately. Plenty of people are proudly saying this is exactly what they voted for.

Is there a partisan split? Very much. Is ICE deeply unpopular? Also very much.

Net support (% support minus % oppose) for abolishing ICE is at +5 overall; +61 with Democrats, +12 with independents, and -54 with Republicans.

Net approval of ICE is at -22 overall; -81 with Democrats, -39 with independents, and +60 with Republicans.

Nope. Trump is -13% on deportations according to YouGov before the Alex Pretti murder.

The point is presumably to make an example of a few, and use that to deter future people from posting information about ICE officers, not to send everyone who oppose ICE to the gulags.

[pickleglitch]

Not YET. But ICE's budget is now larger the military budget for most countries. They are spending billions developing sophisticated AI-powered surveillance tech infrastructure and building detention centers (aka, concentration camps).

When they run out of immigrants to deport, they aren't going to just sell all that crap on ebay. They're going to go looking for more targets.

Arbitrary cruelty is the point. There isn't a coherent rationale. You're going to the gulags if the subhuman pig in the mask says you are. You'll be lucky (?) if they don't just decide to execute you in the street. This is the reality on the ground right now. In a blue state in America.

[wizzwizz4]

I fear they've burned the credibility they'd need for that to work. If they claim to have made an example of a critic, how do we know that was actually a critic – and by extension, how do we know that not critiquing them will keep us safe?

Or is it more like trying to find all the hay in a hay stack?
