ICE reactivates contract with zionist spyware maker Paragon

ICE reactivates contract with spyware maker Paragon | TechCrunch

The Israeli spyware maker now faces the dilemma of whether to continue its relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and help fuel its mass deportations program.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) signed a contract last year with Israeli spyware maker Paragon worth $2 million.

Shortly after, the Biden administration put the contract under review, issuing a “stop work order,” to determine whether the contract complied with an executive order on commercial spyware, which restricts U.S. government agencies from using spyware that could violate human rights or target Americans abroad.

Almost a year later, when it looked like the contract would just run out and never become active, ICE lifted the stop work order, according to public records.
