WhatsApp also <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/whatsapp-says-it-disrupted-spyware-campaign-aimed-at-reporters-civil-society\/\">notified users this year<\/a> about a Paragon-linked campaign targeting them. The tool can infect phones without its target having to click on any malicious lure, then mine data from them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the Trump Administration\u2019s disregard for constitutional rights and civil liberties in pursuit of rapid mass deportation, we are seriously concerned that ICE will abuse Graphite software to target immigrants, people of color, and individuals who express opposition to ICE\u2019s repeated attacks on the rule of law,\u201d the three congressional Democrats, two of whom serve as ranking members of House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittees, <a href=\"https:\/\/summerlee.house.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/reps-lee-brown-ansari-demand-answers-from-dhs-on-use-of-foreign-spyware-by-ice\">wrote Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The trio behind the letter are Reps. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, top Democrat on the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement; Ohio Rep. Shontel Brown, ranking member of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation; and Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Their letter pointed to two Supreme Court rulings \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/supreme.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/us\/573\/373\/\">Riley v. California<\/a> from 2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oyez.org\/cases\/2017\/16-402\">Carpenter v. United States<\/a> from 2018 \u2014 that addressed warrantless surveillance of cellular data. \u201cAllowing ICE to utilize spyware raises serious questions about whether ICE will respect Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless search and seizure for people residing in the U.S.,\u201d the lawmakers wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The trio also asked for communications and documents about ICE\u2019s use of spyware, as well as legal discussions about ICE using spyware and its compliance with the 2023 Biden executive order. They also sought a list of data surveillance targets.<\/p>\n<p>ICE\u2019s surveillance tactics have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/privacy-technology-center\/publications\/american-dragnet-data-driven-deportation-in-the-21st-century\/\">long drawn attention<\/a>, but they\u2019ve gained more attention in the Trump administration, which has sought to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/10\/ice-immigration-detention-centers\/684465\/\">vastly expand the agency<\/a>. ICE has conducted raids that have often <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/us-border-patrol-raid-sweeps-citizens-families-chicago-crackdown-intensifies-2025-10-04\/\">swept in U.S. citizens<\/a>.
