We Sued ICE to Get Its Spyware Contract. The Agency Is Redacting Essentially Everything

There’s no legitimate reason for ICE to withhold information from the public. There’s no legitimate reason for any government agency to withhold information from the public. You can’t have a legitimate government if the government is allowed to keep secrets from the populace. This is like baseline shit. We can’t even start arguing about left and right until we agree that the people in power can’t keep secrets from the people who put them in power.
Totalitarian governments have two aces up their sleeve when it comes to pushing through totalitarian legislation: 1) Child safety and 2) National security.
Any guesses for which they’ll choose to excuse this one?
To be fair, a child safety claim is blatant bullshit if the state doesn’t bother to confront actual children’s welfare matters like food insecurity, home insecurity, family insecurity, failing education districts and so on.
As the federal government showed when it past the OBBBA budget reconciliation omnibus in 2025, they give not a single fuck about kids working class or lower.
There’s no use in protecting kids from exposure to porn or social media addiction when they’re literally starving.
There is absolutely a reason for governments to withhold things like active battle plans, etc. But this is well outside that zone.

It’s probably too late.
Lots of people still push back on the idea that Trump is a Nazis. Lots of democrats still think the solution can wait until November.
Our last best chance was when they killed Pretti and Good. But people forget quickly.
