4/7 Here is where ICE brags about being at the Superbowl on their website. This was apparently posted in November, as I discovered when I did a web search for "superbowl ICE".
Apparently they've been posting these pages for a couple of years now.

5/7 Apparently ICE actually has been doing this for some time. Here's an article from 2018 about their annual blitz of the Super Bowl, and they have flashy pages up from past events.

7/7 Right wing propaganda outlets like the Washington Examiner spin this as part of an effort to catch human traffickers and rescue sex workers, but the fact that ICE does this specifically at an event they can monetize makes this a hollow argument. washex.am/38B649P

1/3 Customs and Border Protection Gains an Extra Layer of Secrecy
By gaining a “security agency” designation, the border police can further shield themselves from public view.

2/3 This policy change now protects all CBP employee names from subsequent responses to Freedom of Information Act requests or other public disclosures for CBP employee data. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/cus…
3/3 This means when CBP agents commit crimes and harrassment against citizens, immigrants, detainees, or ANYBODY really, the CBP will have an easier time hiding their transgressions.

Wrong. Within hours of the GOP in the Senate crowning him king, acting DHS head Chad Wolf went on #FauxNews to suspend Global Entry and all other Trusted Travelers programs for New York City. huffpost.com/entry/dhs-trus…
