If Obama was the drone king,
Trump is the surveillance king. 👑
Under Trump, federal spending on surveillance tech is exploding: social‑media monitoring tools, facial recognition systems, license‑plate tracking networks.
At the same time, new White House executive orders are stripping away long-standing privacy protections, giving ICE fresh workarounds to access and share data on millions of Americans.
What that means:
-ICE agents can scan your face or take your fingerprints in the field with smartphone apps
-Biometric data can be stored for years, even if you’re a U.S. citizen
-There are no established public rules on data use, retention, or how to challenge errors
-Surveillance is expanding beyond immigration enforcement and into domestic monitoring
The drones were overseas.
The surveillance is here.
And this time, the target isn’t “them.” It’s you.
