So, guess what—ICE gets its favorite toy back! The Trump administration, ever the champion of consistency, dusted off that $2 million spyware contract with Paragon Solutions, the Israeli outfit behind the oh-so-ethical Graphite software. Remember how Biden hit the pause button over worries about misuse and sneaky surveillance? Well, that pause is now officially… unpaused.
one of the world's prettiest spyware tools. It’ll do everything—hack your WhatsApp, read your Signal messages, access your cloud backups, even turn your phone into a listening device (because who needs walls or windows anymore?)
And yes—this tool has been busy in Europe, targeting journalists, migrant-rights defenders, and even allies of the Pope. But hey, that was overseas—so no big deal, right?

Now that Paragon is backed by a U.S. investor and cozy with ex-CIA folks, it's magically “domestic.” That means the Trump admin gave ICE the green light: “Surveillance? Absolutely. No oversight? Even better.”
