TODAY'S TOPLINES Surveillance nation. The company behind a nationwide network of surveillance cameras is under fire, as police are accused of misusing the artificial intelligence-powered technology to spy on Americans and help carry out President Trump’s immigration raids. Flock Safety’s license plate cameras, the black boxes and solar panels positioned on the sides of roads across the U.S., have been deployed by police departments ostensibly to solve crimes and find missing people. But at the beginning of Trump’s second term, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials were found to be secretly coordinating with local police to use Flock. And now, dozens of police officers have been accused of stalking or spying on acquaintances, family members, and significant others. (You can view a map of Flock cameras in your community here.)
