ICYMI: The Supreme Court quietly gave ICE agents the legal cover to stop, question, and detain people based on markers like appearance, language, accent, or workplace. In other words, the Court gave its blessing to racial profiling on a massive scale. https://t.co/dkBOpmZt10

The use of Flock surveillance technology by Wisconsin law enforcement agencies like the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department (WCSD) have extended far beyond the public safety justifications for which these tools were originally sold. https://t.co/HNo92yxpAj

Flock cameras are much more powerful than typical license plate readers. These cameras record and AI analyze every passing vehicle — and anything else that happens to be caught in frame. View a map of Flock camera locations at https://t.co/ethvf6JGtb.

When sheriffs honor detainers and hold people in jail longer than necessary upon ICE's request, they're breaking the law. So we sued. https://t.co/UbRa81tqxV

WIN: The Village of Palmyra will no longer pursue a 287(g) agreement with ICE. It's a testament to the people of Palmyra and to local organizers, who stood united, made their voices heard and persuaded their leaders not to participate in the program. https://t.co/DgVTZoKcr1

The Palmyra Public Safety Department would have been Wisconsin's first police department to participate in ICE's 287(g) Task Force Model.

Law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin use automatic license plate readers from a company called Flock. We are alarmed by the news that data from Flock's national license plate scanner network is shared with ICE. https://t.co/UNFT2m7i5O

The company’s default agreement with police departments grants the company license to share people’s license plate data

All 72 Wisconsin sheriffs were surveyed on immigration enforcement by @journalsentinel and @USATODAY. 45 of the 56 sheriffs that responded said they would honor ICE detainer requests, the subject of our recent lawsuit against this illegal practice. https://t.co/3kZz6r5HAF

Wisconsin's sheriffs could play a key role in how immigration is enforced on the local level. But how much to cooperate is largely up to them.
