Investigate IRS, ICE surveillance overreach to protect privacy rights

To: Rep. Lawler, Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer

From: A verified voter in Suffern, NY

July 16

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have faced scrutiny over potential violations of privacy rights. Allegations have surfaced regarding the misuse of facial recognition technology and other surveillance tools to secretly track individuals without proper oversight or consent. This raises serious concerns about government overreach and infringement on civil liberties. An independent investigation is warranted to examine these agencies' data collection practices, ensure transparency, and implement necessary safeguards to protect Americans' fundamental right to privacy. Unchecked surveillance powers pose a threat to our democratic values. Decisive action must be taken to hold these federal agencies accountable and restore public trust.
