After a volunteer confirmed an officer’s identity, they would alert neighbors to the agent’s presence, and our dispatch team would send a text message to our contacts in the area. ICE agents almost never carry judicial warrants giving them the authority to enter private homes or businesses without permission, so they often wait to make an arrest when the person they’re looking for leaves their home or car. And in every case we worked on, when the agents realized they were being watched, they abandoned their stakeout.

    There’s also limitations like AI features possibly logging all activity on a device.

      Yeah well you can use better settings and/or third party keyboards/graphine/vpn/etc but you’re not going to get most people who don’t understand threat modelling to see those as valuable.

      Accessible tools to make things at least a little obfuscated goes farther than just handing data over willingly, and we have to meet people where they are. Education requires interest in a topic. Start easy and work up as they see the value.
