#BiddefordME - ICE quickly cordons off body after agents kill another person
David Edwards, July 13, 2026
Excerpt: "The killing is at least the 11th fatal shooting involving ICE or Border Patrol agents since Trump took office, the Bangor Daily News reported. Earlier this month, ICE agents fatally shot #LorenzoAraujo, 52, a Houston construction worker, sparking mass protests, the BDN reported.
"ICE has a recent history in Biddeford specifically. Earlier this year, the agency flooded Maine with agents under "Operation Catch of the Day," a mass enforcement sweep. Of nearly 200 people detained statewide, only 11 had criminal convictions, the BDN reported. The Trump administration had claimed it was targeting the "worst of the worst."
"Fecteau had blasted the operation as "#warrantless, indiscriminate, and quota-driven detentions."
"ICE officially announced it had ended the Maine operation in late January, after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Agents remained in the state.
" 'More than anything else, I want to know why are you in Maine?' Rep. #ChelliePingree (D-ME) said in a video posted to social media.
"A #protest against ICE is planned for noon Monday at #MechanicsPark in Biddeford, according to WABI-TV. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have not responded to requests for comment."

“…
• DeFlock can generate routes that avoid known [Automated License Plate Readers] ALPR cameras entirely.
• Users can choose how far they want to stay from surveillance cameras.
• The tool arrives as scrutiny of license plate readers continues to grow.
For years, automated license plate readers have quietly spread across America. They sit on utility poles, at intersections, near shopping centers, and along roads most drivers use every day. The overwhelming majority of motorists never notice them. A free website called DeFlock changes that by showing where many of those cameras are located and, more importantly, helping users avoid them if they choose. In a world where surveillance is often invisible, that’s a surprisingly powerful feature…”

“Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, colour, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.
These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant…”

‘Dangerous and Shameful’: 42 House #Democrats Help #GOP Send #Trump Spying Bill to Senate
“It was these Democrats’ responsibility to stand up against this administration, and they voted to stand down instead,” said one campaigner.
Jessica Corbett, Apr 29, 2026
Excerpt: " 'The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump’s #surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful,' she declared.
" 'These Democrats defied their constituents and common sense to undercut meaningful privacy reforms in the House and instead voted to hand over sweeping spy powers to the Trump administration,' she stressed. 'This means continuing #warrantless backdoor searches and allowing an increasing number of federal agencies to exploit the data broker loophole to supercharge #AI and fuel mass #DomesticSurveillance.'

Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras
If you live in the USA, it's quite likely that a private startup has been logging and sharing your vehicle's location without your consent. In this video it's explored how LLMs can defend against being tracked by 3rd party police and retail LLM tracking cameras.
Watching the video makes you realize in how bad it's become for regular people in the US. All these third party LLM systems glitch and put people (often whole families) in front of barrels of guns pointed at them by police acting like vigilantes

Flock surveillance camera destruction
- Silicon Valley is torqueing up its ties with Trump
- The surveillance state is drastically expanding
- Big tech’s LLM data center buildout is booming
Civilians now push back HARD
Nation wide people destroy & dismantle Flock cameras, which conduct warrantless vehicle surveillance
it's data is shared with the bloody ICE group
Flock
- Flock is based in Atlanta
- It operates automatic license plate readers (ALPR)
- Install base 6,000 US communities
- Flock cameras gather not just license plate images
- other identifying data is used to ‘fingerprint’ vehicles, owners, GPS location movements
- data is be collected, stored, and accessed without a warrant from a judge
- This is a popular workaround for law enforcement
Most controversial Flock’s vehicle data is routinely accessed by ICE!
Abuses have been prevalent
- A Georgia police chief was arrested and charged with using Flock data to stalk and harass private citizens
- Flock data has been used to track citizens who cross state lines for abortions when the procedure is illegal in their state

But arrest records for two of the men show the government's stated reason for the raid was to take out #squatters, not #gang members. The documents were included in a motion filed in an ongoing case challenging #warrantless #arrests in #Chicago.
In the documents, #DHS stated "this operation was based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments in the building." There is no mention of criminal gangs or Tren de Aragua.

#StPaulMN - US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search
By JACK BROOK
Updated 2:18 AM EST, January 20, 2026ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — "Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his #Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.
"ChongLy 'Scott' Thao told the AP that his daughter-in-law woke him up from a nap Sunday afternoon and said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were banging at the door of his residence in #StPaul. He told her not to open it. Masked agents then forced their way in and pointed guns at the family, yelling at them, Thao recalled.
" 'I was shaking,' he said. 'They didn’t show any warrant; they just broke down the door.'
"Amid a massive surge of federal agents into the #TwinCities, immigration authorities are facing backlash from residents and the local leaders for #warrantless arrests, aggressive clashes with #protestors and the fatal shooting of mother of three Renee Good.
" '#ICE is not doing what they say they’re doing,' St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, a Hmong American, said in a statement about Thao’s arrest. 'They’re not going after hardened criminals. They’re going after anyone and everyone in their path. It is unacceptable and un-American.' "
