Informal Surveillance Collaboration Between Oregon Police, FBI, and ICE Revealed

An article from 404 Media reveals an informal collaboration in surveillance between local police in Oregon, the FBI, and ICE. Criminal analysts from several police departments and the FBI have shared surveillance tools and techniques, including the creation of fake profiles on social networks. This collaboration, known as the "Southern Oregon Analyst Group," demonstrates the extensive access to surveillance tools even for small police departments in the United States. This cooperation bypasses the usual legal processes that agencies like ICE should follow to conduct surveillance activities.
