A new procurement record says ICE wants access to personal data, including names, Social Security numbers, and ethnicity, to investigate in part what the agency calls “voters fraud.” It also plans to use the data to investigate immigration fraud.
I work through a nonprofit where we have to report the names and addresses of our visitors to the local government which gives us a grant.
Their thinking is they want to know how many people that visit the nonprofit are residents and taxpayers of the local municipality.
Still, it sucks to ask people to give us their name and residential address, even though I tell them this is just for reporting for grants. We don’t mail you anything.
I don’t think the local government does anything nefarious with this, but they could, I guess.
