It was recently reported by Jack Poulson on Substack that ICE has reactivated its 2 million dollar contract with Paragon Solutions, a cyber-mercenary and spyware manufacturer.

The reactivation of the contract between the Department of Homeland Security and Paragon Solutions, a known spyware vendor, is extremely troubling.

Without strong legal guardrails, there is a risk that the malware will be misused in a similar manner by the U.S. Government.

There are already strong legal guardrails, it's literally the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

Of course, we all know what these losers really think of the Constitution.
