Amazon and other tech companies are raking in billions by selling services that aid President Trump’s deportation agenda, according to a report.
The tech giant is among the Silicon Valley companies that provides technology to ICE that helps it track, detain, and deport immigrants, a group of nonprofits including Mijente, Immigrant Defense Project, NIPNLG and Empower LLC, concludes in its report entitled Who’s Behind ICE?
“It’s time to hold Amazon accountable for its outsized share in building the deportation machine, and demand that they stop. It won’t be easy — Amazon makes billions from these contracts,” Mijente said in a statement.
The report claims that Amazon and software company Palantir — founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel — both play central roles in helping the federal government carry out its immigration and law enforcement mission…
Amazon and Palantir collect, store and manage the information ICE needs to expand its reach and meet expectations set by the Trump administration.
Amazon has transitioned from mega e-tailer to a broker of cloud storage space through its Amazon Web Services division which hosts the data-sharing systems the Department of Homeland Security relies on to “detect and prevent illegal entry,” according to DHS.
Amazon has the most federal authorizations to maintain government data out of all the tech companies, according to the report.
It serves as DHS’s database for immigration case management systems and stores biometric data for 230 million unique identities — including fingerprint and face records.
Burke says she also wants to shift the focus back to survivors. “At the end of the day, there is a body of work that we’re building to help those people who have their hands raised. And I’m proud of that.”
no offense I haven’t heard a girl talk at length about pumpkin spice anything in years and I can’t remember the last time I went six hours without hearing a grown man making fun of how obsessed girls are with pumpkin spice lattes
Grown men are obsessed with making fun of girls so they don’t have to think of their own numerous and pathetic flaws.
Walk up to a man and say you don’t like bacon and wait for the reaction
