Immigration agents have admitted to using new surveillance apps as they scrambled to satisfy a lofty deportation quota set by Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem.
In a rare court testimony last December, ICE agents identified simply as “J.B.” and “D.R.” detailed their use of apps called Elite and Mobile Fortify to identify neighborhoods and people they could target in Woodburn, a city in Oregon just south of Portland that was rocked by an immigration blitz in October.
The agents’ testimony and cross-examination centered on the October 30 operation that saw at least 31 people get swept off the streets of Woodburn, a largely Latino city that is home to agricultural workers. The ICE blitz led the city council to declare a local state of emergency as fear kept residents from showing up to work and to school.
