US Immigration Agency Contract with Spyware Company Poses Risk to Rights

Systems Needed to Hold Industry, Governments to International Standards

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/10/17/us-immigration-agency-contract-spyware-company-poses-risk-rights

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a US government agency linked to human rights abuses, has contracted services from the Israeli spyware company Paragon, according to a government contracting website. Wired magazine first reported on the US$2 million contract, which the agency signed with Paragon in September.\
\
The contract summary doesn't name a specific product, but Paragon is best known for Graphite, a spyware tool that, like its competitor Pegasus, can bypass the encryption of many smartphones and give access to the data inside. In 2022, the New York Times reported that the US Drug Enforcement Agency was also using Paragon’s software. That same year, the Federal Bureau of Investigations sought to deploy Pegasus, developed and sold by NSO Group, but backed out in response to public pressure. One week after the Wired article was published, the contract summary was updated with a stop work order, but the current state of Paragon’s work for ICE is unclear.

Organisatorische Frage

In #Hamburg gibt es ein #Waffenverbotsgebiet rund um den #HBF:

Und die #Polizei hat dort ja auch schlimme #Waffen sichergestellt:

https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/amp/70254/5859770

Werde ich, wenn ich in #Düsseldorf in den #ICE einsteige, darüber informiert, das ich beim Verlassen des #Zuges plötzlich kriminell bin, wenn ich mein #Solinger-Taschenmesser und mein #Leatherman dabei habe?

Also selten habe ich diese in einer verschlossenen #Box.

US Should End Solitary Confinement of Immigrants

Practice Harms Physical and Mental Health, Can Be Fatal

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/07/29/us-should-end-solitary-confinement-immigrants

Earlier this month, people being detained at California Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities began a labor and hunger strike to protest their conditions, including against the use of solitary confinement. Recent research documented the deep physical and psychological toll wrought by the use of solitary confinement in United States immigration detention centers.

#ice #skating #newjersey #photography
It took me years to remember, and then to find a photograph of the place where I went ice skating in New Jersey. I was in Middle School. The place was Goat Hill, along Coon Path ~ in the woods. That's where I went with others from school, and I learned how to ice skate there on a frozen pond.
The photograph is exactly how I remember the location. I was thrilled to see it!!

Rideau Canal Re-Opens for Skating

With the temperature at -13°C (8°F) and a windchill of -20C (4°F) the canal looks like it will reopen for one last day before everything melts. Only a short portion of under 2 km will open at noon and it is only rated as "poor". If this is it for this winter then it will have been open only nine days, only a small section and never rated better than "poor".

@Kathryn Barr and I don't skate on it unless it is rated "good" or "very good" as "poor" is damn dangerous for surface conditions. Even "fair" is not good enough to skate with any degree of safety.

The official webcam photo below shows prep underway this morning.
