Congress Probes Flock Surveillance Amid Illinois Law Questions
Original: Congress probes Flock; Illinois immigration surveillance law may be moot
Congressional investigators are examining Flock, the license plate surveillance company, following reports that Illinois' new law restricting immigration-related surveillance may be effectively moot. Questions are mounting over whether the company's data-sharing practices with federal immigration authorities undermine state-level privacy protections. The probe adds to growing national scrutiny of automated license plate readers and the reach of immigration enforcement surveillance networks.
Why now: Federal scrutiny of Flock's data practices threatens the practical effect of Illinois' new restrictions on immigration surveillance.
