#USA #ICE #DHS #Telemetry #PhoneLocation #Privacy #Surveillance: "Back in January, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it had stopped using commercial telemetry data that government agencies buy from private companies. That practice has been frequently criticized by civil rights groups that argue that by purchasing the phone location data from third parties, the government is essentially side-stepping the Fourth Amendment and violating peoples’ privacy.

But, even though ICE says it has received no new requests for the use of commercial telemetry services since December 2022, the agency has filed a privacy impact assessment with the Department of Homeland Security’s privacy office for review. This kind of documentation is supposed to be released when agencies deploy a technology that could involve someone’s personal information. If and when that assessment is finalized, ICE plans to develop procedures focused on guiding the use of commercial telemetry services.

ICE did not address a series of questions posed by FedScoop regarding the draft PIA and CTD at the subcomponent.

The move comes as civil rights advocates have raised repeated concerns about the use of commercial telemetry data. Relatedly, Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., have introduced the Fourth Amendment is Not for Sale Act, which seeks to rein in the government’s use of this information, among other measures."
