How the US' ICE became a domestic surveillance agency

Full report at americandragnet.org. Summary story on The Register.

From the Executive Summary of the report:

• ICE has scanned the driver’s license photos of 1 in 3 adults.
  
• ICE has access to the driver’s license data of 3 in 4 adults.
  
• ICE tracks the movements of drivers in cities home to 3 in 4 adults.
  
• ICE could locate 3 in 4 adults through their utility records.
  

And almost all of that was done without a warrant.

(I was not aware that Thomson Reuters was in the data-broker business... but they're one of the USA's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's data sources.)
