    A 2018 court ruling had limited the U.S. government's ability to obtain location data from phone companies, but purchasing commercially available data is a way for them to sidestep the rule. That same year, ICE bought $190,000 worth o

    It's not really a great history lesson, it was an ironic and silly summary of events. A better history lesson would be KEI's autobiography, which is pretty neat. But really it's just meant to point out that k now has somethin
