US Government Buys Spyware to Combat… Its Own Citizens?
According to The Independent, the Trump administration is greenlighting a spyware buying spree for ICE, ostensibly to find individuals who 'want to overthrow the United States Government.' Apparently, challenging immigration policies, or holding ICE accountable for its documented abuses, now constitutes sedition. (Who knew advocating for human rights was such a radical plot?) This isn't about
'overthrowing the government'; it's about suppressing dissent. It's the same playbook used to surveil civil rights activists, anti-war protesters, and labor organizers throughout US history. The real target isn't some shadowy foreign enemy, but any domestic voice that dares to question the mechanisms of state power.
