ICE’s $2M Spyware Under Fire | Detroit News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

ICE just dropped two million dollars on Graphite, a spyware tool capable of hijacking phones and stealing personal data — sparking alarm from Senator Gary Peters, who’s demanding transparency after ICE made a sole-source purchase without public scrutiny. Concerned about civil liberties and potential misuse — especially given its history targeting journalists abroad — Peters is pushing for records, usage logs, and legal justification, while criticizing the government’s lack of response despite repeated requests. The spotlight’s on ICE, DHS, and the tech vendors as accountability heats up.
