“It’s been some time since ICE has been seen using a tool known as a Stingray, or a cell-site simulator, in its attempts to find and remove undocumented immigrants. The tool tricks a phone into thinking it’s a cell tower, and when a suspect’s device connects, the cops can trace its location.”
🚨NEW🚨 A recently-unsealed warrant shows how ICE is using controversial cell tower simulators to locate undocumented individuals.

Contract records also show a recent order for the surveillance devices, also known as Stingrays, bundled in with some snooping vehicles.
