Then there’s Unicorn Riot’s
Icebreaker series which
released ICE’s handbook containing the agency’s “rules for informants,
infiltration of organizations, and guidelines for breaking the law with
protection from federal authorities.” WikiLeaks posted a
tweet stating that ICE undercover agents “duplicitously” marry their targets, citing part of the handbook,
“…activity involving a purported legal marriage between
an undercover operative and a target or third party; or a marriage sting
operation whereby an undercover operative proffers marriage to a target
or third party…”
And just today, @JulianAssange
tweeted,
“DHS/ICE is part of the ‘deep state.’ TV shows you
border guards, but in reality, ICE is a huge intelligence operation,
that sucks out information on mass from computers, phones & passes
it to CIA, runs drones & expands the power of the state through
increasing ‘rightless’ zones.”
Wow, your first post this year. I still don't understand why ICE replaced INS-- which was perfectly ok. INS still seems to be sort of in existence.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, "on mass" should be "en masse"... a French expression

en masse. In one group or body; all together. For example, The activists marched en masse to the capitol. This French term, with exactly the same meaning, was adopted into English about 1800.
