This is Minnesota. No one for any reason intentionally leaves their car on the side of the road w/the doors open in January

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

ICE isn’t just brutal. It’s also big business. From 2008 to 2021 ICE spent *$1.2 billion* on geolocation tracking, $561M on data analysis, $252M on government databases, and $97M on data brokers. Most of that went to companies who will lobby for this system to stay in place.

Minnesota law enforcement used a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) to amplify dispersal orders at an anti‑ICE protest. Officials say it wasn't used in a "deterrent setting" intended to cause bodily harm, but some people closest to it may have still felt pain.

Minnesota authorities used LRAD sound weapon on anti-ICE protesters. But that's not the full story
In extreme cases, sonic weapons can cause nausea, dizziness, and even permanent damage. In this case, officials used it to declare unlawful assembly.

The thing that I truly adore about this letter is the subtext: “keep in mind, if you want to pursue this shit any further, that we are so much better than you better at this stuff.”
The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:
