This tool is what ICE is using to find places it thinks lots of immigrants are located. “You’re going to go to a more dense population rather than [...] like, if there’s one pin at a house” www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...
![“It pulls from all kinds of sources,” JB continued. “It’s a newer app that was actually given to us in ICE.” JB said ELITE is what ICE sometimes uses to track the apparent density of people at a particular location to target. “You’re going to go to a more dense population rather than [...] like, if there’s one pin at a house and the likelihood of them actually living there is like 10 percent [...] you’re not going to go there.” For that raid in Woodburn, JB suggested the immigration officers used ELITE to generate leads. Additionally, in a text thread of immigration officers, someone described the area as “target rich,” which JB explained meant the officials had run multiple license plates in that area and found vehicles registered to people “who had either a criminal or immigration nexus.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vk7rduhvom3rq6dyluce5wzf/bafkreigonqssrqen5i5haxs2wkmpc6lde3garlwrzwmpuac5kafmqnv4a4@jpeg)
