This is what happens when ICE asks Google for your user information

You’re scrolling through your Gmail inbox and see an email with a strange subject line: A string of numbers followed by “Notification from Google.”

It may seem like a phishing scam or an update to Gmail’s terms of service. But it could be the only chance you’ll have to stop Google from sharing your personal information with authorities.

Tech companies, which have treasure troves of personal information, have become natural targets for law enforcement and government requests. The industry’s biggest names, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, receive data requests — from subpoenas to National Security Letters — to assist in, among other efforts, criminal and non-criminal investigations as well as lawsuits.

An email like this one is a rare chance for users to discover when government agencies are seeking their data.

In Google’s case, the company typically lets users know which agency is seeking their information.

In one email The Times reviewed, Google notified the recipient that the company received a request from the Department of Homeland Security to turn over information related to their Google account. (The recipient shared the email on the condition of anonymity due to concern about immigration enforcement). That account may be attached to Gmail, YouTube, Google Photos, Google Pay, Google Calendar and other services and apps.

The email, sent from Google’s Legal Investigations Support team, notified the recipient that Google may hand over personal information to DHS unless it receives within seven days a copy of a court-stamped motion to quash the request.

🇵🇸 The Big Picture I tried to sue Trump. He sent ICE after me | Momodou Taal

This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak to Momodou Taal, a Cornell Unveristy scholar forced to flee from #US immigration officers.

Undercover agents belonging to the department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, #ICE for short, have been filmed arresting university students on campuses, in their homes and even in the middle of the street.

Some of those targeted as part of this nationwide sweep have attempted to appeal to the justice system - in Cornell university a group of academics and students launched a legal case against the Trump Administration.

At its centre is the case of Mamodou Taal, a British-Gambian PHD student whose home was then raided by ICE agents in an attempt to arrest him

After failing to get a judge to hear their case, Taal decided instead to leave the United States before he faces the same fate as Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk.

I Worked At Palantir: The Tech Company Reshaping Reality

A former #Palantir employee is sounding the alarm. The tech company, founded by #PeterThiel, claims they can revolutionize government systems with their #AI-powered software.

They’ve been hired by the Department of Defense, the #FBI, #ICE, and even #Wendy’s. Now #DOGE will likely hire Palantir as well.

We talked to a former Palantir employee, dug into decades of research and listened to hours of Palantir CEO Alex Karp's own words to carefully unwrap the layers of Palantir’s carefully cultivated sales pitch — and how they capitalize on fear and unrest to make money.

#ICE had a budget of $28.7B in 2025, making them the 14th most well-funded military in the world, right between Ukraine and occupied Palestine. Now they're going on a shopping spree, creating one of the largest, most comprehensive domestic surveillance machines in history.

House Dems decry confirmed ICE usage of Paragon spyware | CyberScoop –

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed it is using Paragon spyware, prompting outrage Thursday from a trio of House Democrats.

In response to a letter from the lawmakers inquiring about Paragon’s use, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons wrote that he had authorized the use of “cutting-edge technological tools” to help the Homeland Security Investigations division fight fentanyl, particularly against organizations using encrypted communications.
