@DrALJONES Yes,

americandragnet.org/ has a full report.

"ICE spent roughly $97 million on data brokers in this period [2017-2021]. The primary contractor that has provided this service is Thomson Reuters, which offers a person-search database called CLEAR."

I would wager even after switching to LexisNexis, ICE kept the data from Reuters. There's no way they washed their hands of that and it not contibuting to what we see now. Sealed records from 12 years were used in one recent arrest.

@DrALJONES Reuters has turned out to be a blatantly pro-fascist, pro-genocide organization that directly, materially aided in the current ICE kidnappings as well.
