U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appears in How government uses "surveillance as a service" to collect data as one of the agencies Jeremy Scott names when explaining law-enforcement access to Surveillance as a Service systems. The page uses the full name to avoid colliding with the unrelated ICE page.

In the episode, the important point is not a separate institutional history of ICE, but the way immigration enforcement can use databases that private companies build, aggregate, and sell access to. That makes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement part of the wiki’s Government Data Broker Access and Civil Liberties Surveillance Risk branch.
