ICE Is Running One of the Largest Anti-Left Surveillance Operations in US History
Summary
Wired reports that ICE's Homeland Security Investigations conducted sweeping surveillance against left-wing activists in Minnesota and beyond. The investigation references Operation Puppet Master and Keyhole, detailing hundreds of agents, undercover work, and extensive data collection including Signal chats, DNS queries, and financial records. The piece argues this represents a major expansion of post-9/11 surveillance aimed at dissent and raises concerns about civil liberties and government overreach.
