Secretive DHS 'Predictive Policing' Unit Is Analyzing Americans' Financial Habits, Pulling Them Over
An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Border Patrol is running secretive predictive policing units that analyze Americans' financial activity and other data, then feed that intelligence to local police who pull people over who are not suspected of any specific crime, but which the government thinks may be worth searching, 404 Media has found. The units, the name of which 404 Media is revealing here for the first time, are called Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams (PITT). In one case, a PITT analyzed the financial activity of a man who was driving across Montana, and local authorities stopped him under the pretense of an obstructed license plate and charged him with a DUI.
404 Media identified one PITT in the Spokane Sector, Washington, which polices the U.S. border with Canada, and another in the Laredo Sector, Texas, which polices the border with Mexico. The findings add to an Associated Press investigation from last year which found Border Patrol was using automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) as part of the same wide-spanning predictive policing program. "The bottom line is genuine probable cause cannot be synthetically generated," Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the Security and Surveillance Project at the Center For Democracy & Technology, told 404 Media in an email. Here Border Patrol seems to be "using parallel construction to cloak the reason behind its car stops in secrecy. If we can't meaningfully review and evaluate these systems, we can't trust them," he added.
[...] The DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows that Border Patrol is analyzing the financial activity of Americans to find people to pull over. The Associated Press's investigation found the predictive policing program is also heavily using ALPRs to track potential targets' movements. It is not clear how exactly Border Patrol is monitoring Americans' financial activity. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) declined to answer what financial activity the agency was monitoring, and whether it obtained a warrant or not. A CBP spokesperson told 404 Media in an email: "U.S. Border Patrol uses intelligence-informed analysis and planning to support national security operations, allocate resources, and help identify potential threats and bad actors to public safety. These efforts are conducted consistent with applicable law, policy, privacy protections, and oversight requirements."
The statement continued: "For operational security reasons, we do not discuss specific analytical methods, data sources, targeting criteria, investigative techniques, system capabilities, or deployment details. Public disclosure of such information could compromise law enforcement operations and investigations as well as creating safety risks for agents and the public."
Rob Frommer, senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, told 404 Media: "The government's increasing use of mass surveillance -- whether that surveillance comes via ALPRs, financial records, or the like -- coupled with predictive policing is a recipe for tyranny. We fought a revolution for the idea that we are citizens, not subjects. Yet schemes like CBP's Predictive Intelligence Targeting Team treat all Americans as if they are potential suspects. This is not just wrong, it's unconstitutional, and IJ will keep pushing courts and Congress to end this attack on Americans' security."

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Nederland steekt nog eens 250 miljoen euro in drones voor Oekraïne. Ook koopt Nederland extra munitie voor Oekraïnes F-16's, heeft defensieminister Dilan Yeşilgöz toegezegd bij een nieuwe inzamelbijeenkomst van Oekraïne-bondgenoten.
Nederland is al langer een belangrijke geldschieter voor het zogeheten Drone Line Initiative, een netwerk van observatie- en aanvalsdrones die een ondoordringbare bufferzone opwerpen aan het front. Het extra kwart miljard komt uit het eerder afgesproken budget voor Oekraïne-hulp, van 3 miljard dit jaar.
De drones voor Oekraïne hebben "ervoor gezorgd dat de Oekraïense linies niet zijn doorbroken", zei Yeşilgöz na afloop van de videovergadering met tientallen andere medestanders van het door Rusland binnengevallen land. Rusland boekt dit jaar nauwelijks terreinwinst.
"Luchtterreur"
Maar op Ruslands toenemende "luchtterreur" heeft Oekraïne nog geen antwoord, ziet ook Yeşilgöz. "Daarom blijft luchtverdediging naast dronesteun een topprioriteit." Nederland geeft extra munitie voor de F-16's die Oekraïne inzet om bijvoorbeeld Russische kruisraketten uit de lucht te schieten. Die gevechtsvliegtuigen uit onder meer Nederland zitten nu geregeld zonder de raketten die ze daarvoor gebruiken. Soms moeten ze terugvallen op hun boordkanon.
De ontoereikende luchtverdediging was een van de belangrijkste onderwerpen voor het overleg dinsdag van de zogeheten Contactgroep voor de Defensie van Oekraïne. Yeşilgöz maande andere bondgenoten ook over de brug te komen. "Wij leveren", zei ze. "Belangrijk is dat alle Europese bondgenoten dat doen. Eenieder moet zijn eerlijke bijdrage leveren."

Will influencers bring down US Open? | You can mail Katy
Simon Cambers has posted on social media that tickets for tonight’s Alcaraz v Shelton showdown are being sold on resale for a minimum of $500 up in the nosebleed seats to more than $11,0000 courtside. Yikes. Maybe we can blame the influencers for that too.

The Champions League’s back, baby! A lot has changed since Paris Saint-Germain retained the giant trophy in May – not least at Villa Park. Aston Villa covered themselves in glory at the end of lsat season, qualifying for the Champions League on two fronts, but six of the XI that started their Europa League final victory over Freiburg have been pinched by other clubs.
No team can be de-spined without suffering the consequences, and Villa have had a tough start to the Premier League season: three games, one point, no goals. You’d expect Unai Emery to navigate the necessary transition, and we shouldn’t forget that Villa had an equally poor start last season. But for now the mood around the club might reasonably described as sub-optimal.
