@bcgeu.bsky.social is doing incredible work holding data broker @thomasreuters.bsky.social accountable for their role in immigration enforcement - selling the government hordes of sensitive personal data - through shareholder proposals calling for human rights assessments. Honored to be cited.

So excited that Brokering Safety is finally out in the California Law Review! It was such a joy to write this piece with Thomas and Sam, however disturbing the underlying phenomenon we tackle: the abuse enabled by data brokers and the need for a centralized system to empower victims to opt out.

I wrote about RightsCon's cancellation after Zambia's government announced it would postpone the event to sort out its concerns over "thematic issues." With thousands about to depart (or already en route) to Lusaka, it's a huge blow to the digital and human rights field.

Palantir's ImmigrationOS endangers democracy and the rule of law, according to a new law review paper from Fordham Law School’s Chinmayi Sharma and Sam Adler. In this week’s podcast, they break down the risks of AI-powered surveillance in immigration enforcement.

So excited that my article with @samadler.bsky.social will be published in the BYU Law Review! It takes apart the privatized, automated architecture of the new immigration enforcement regime and gives an unvarnished critique of how it erodes federalism, democratic oversight, and civil liberties.
