A Border Patrol agent recently spilled the beans about more than a dozen 'secret and obscure watchlists' that President Donald Trump's administration has created to monitor Americans, according to a new report.
Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported on Wednesday that a source inside Customs and Border Patrol spoke to him about a list of "aggressive protesters" that the administration has cobbled together using multiple existing government databases. The protesters the administration cares about most are anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian protesters, the report said. Some of the codenames of the lists are Bluekey, Grapevine, Hummingbird, Reaper, Sandcastle, Sienna, Slipstream, and Sparta, it added.
"Some of these, like Hummingbird, were created to vet and track immigrants, in this case Afghans seeking to settle in the United States. Slipstream is a classified social media repository," Klippenstein reported. "Others are tools used to link people on the streets together, including collecting on friends and families who have nothing to do with any purported lawbreaking."
