How was Amandla even identified? Stingray at the protest? Then how was the phone number linked to Google? Facial recognition at the protest? I guess his details are on file under terms of the visa? So then the government simply asks Google for all details on the individual by name? Either is pretty disturbing.

Cell carriers sell geofenced data about cell phones in an area at a given time to anyone. There's zero privacy.

KYC laws mean that his carrier has his name and email address and the feds probably got that without anyone informing the customer.

What about the find-my-phone BLE database, for which I just learned modern phones broadcast even when off? Is that controlled by the OS (Google, Apple) and not the carrier?

		The laws closed that loophole a long time ago. You have to either present a photo ID to buy in a brick and mortar store or sign for the package when delivering to an address.

The fact that we're only hearing one side is suspicious enough

ICE is free to speak. I don't think they have interest to explain why they hunt someone.

		It's true, by not speaking ICE loses some credibility, but they won't speak even when they're right.

		Nor, I assume, do they have any interest to explain how they hunt someone.

Guy seems to have earned himself a ban from entering Cornell’s premises[1]. They seem to be letting him finish [2], which tracks—they’re pretty chill IME. Something might’ve went down…

		This disruption, according to a University statement, involved shoving police officers, making guests of the University feel threatened and denying students the opportunity to experience the career fair. Sun reporters on the scene did not observe any physical violence towards law enforcement but did note distress among recruiters, students and administration involved in the career fair.[1] [1] https://www.cornellsun.com/article/2024/09/pro-palestine-pro...
