Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has used a system called Giant Oak Search Technology (GOST) to help the agency scrutinize social media posts, determine if they are “derogatory” to the U.S., and then use that information as part of immigration enforcement, according to a new cache of documents reviewed by 404 Media.

We need to abolish ICE. It only started post 9/11 and Patriot Act bullshit (which also needs to dissolve).

Absolutely crazy. Doesn't even seem like it would be in their jurisdiction to do this.
