NEW: DHS secretly obtained Chicago police data on 900 residents accused of gang ties. It was quietly deleted after intelligence officers violated rules against domestic spying.
The handoff came well after city inspectors formally announced CPD's gang data was deeply flawed and infected w/ bias.

DHS Kept Chicago Police Records for Months in Violation of Domestic Espionage Rules
The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.

The aim was to feed names of noncitizens into an FBI watchlist. Memos show the project unraveled after a chain of mismanagement and oversight failures. Nearly 800 files broke rules meant to stop US intelligence agencies from surveilling Americans.

New story out from me. CBP installed a surveillance network along the coast of the popular beach town of Fajardo in Puerto Rico.
These cameras are installed "in and around" private marinas in the municipality, which races privacy concerns.
