Business Insiderrecently published an article condemning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s use of fake Facebook accounts when mounting sting operations against “undocumented immigrants.” According to the publication, “The practice violates Facebook’s rules, which prohibit ‘inauthentic behavior’ including running accounts with fake names or accounts that mislead people.”

The Business Insider piece echoes a New York Times“exposé” which purports to explain “how ICE picks its targets in the surveillance age.” The NYT breathlessly decries ICE use of “state D.M.V. databases and information products like CLEAR, from Thomson Reuters, to target immigrants.” And it claims that the agency is pushing the envelope of acceptable behavior because its “work is regulated by only a set of outdated privacy laws and the limits of the technology.”
