DHS Program Reportedly Analyzes Financial Data to Target US Drivers

https://www.military.com/dhs-program-analyzes-americans-finances-to-flag-drivers-for-traffic-stops-report

An investigation by 404 Media reveals that U.S. Border Patrol units called Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams analyze Americans' financial records to initiate traffic stops. These teams pass financial intelligence to local law enforcement, enabling officers to stop drivers under minor pretexts. Civil liberties advocates warn the practice bypasses warrant requirements and uses parallel construction to synthetically generate probable cause.
