New ICE data-mining tool ALARMS unions & Sen Wyden targets unauthorized workers
Senator Ron Wyden has raised the alarm over RAVEn, a powerful new data-mining tool being developed by ICE to clamp down on unauthorized workers.
“I’m particularly concerned about the way ICE is buying its way around the Fourth Amendment,” Wyden commented.
Representatives from over 200 companies including Google, Amazon and Microsoft attended a RAVEn industry day in April looking for more details on three government contracts worth a reported $300mn.
The system has allegedly already been used, but it is unclear which companies have or plan to bid on the lucrative tenders.
