This is also about eliminating the concept of the “personal computer” and pushing everything into the cloud where all actions, every byte of data, can be surveilled and monetized.

ICE as an institution is exactly 23 years old. The republic thrived for 2 centuries without it. Most adults are old enough to remember a time when it did not exist. It was crammed through at a time when the country was reeling in shock. We should have known better. 9/11 was not an immigration issue.
