The latest story from @thelatinonewsletter.org 's San Juan Deputy Editor, @vaquero2xl.bsky.social, about how United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has built a surveillance network along the coast of #Fajardo that watches private marinas, according to procurement records.

NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying. The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

The aim was to feed names of noncitizens into an FBI watchlist. Memos show the project unraveled after a chain of mismanagement and oversight failures. Nearly 800 files broke rules meant to stop US intelligence agencies from surveilling Americans. Free to read: www.wired.com/story/dhs-ke...

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that. Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records.
