YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA coalition of immigrant rights organizations have sued the data broker LexisNexis for collecting detailed personal information on millions of people and then selling it to governmental entities, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The lawsuit alleges LexisNexis has helped create "a massive surveillance state with files on almost every adult U.S. consumer," and accuses ICE of using information collected by LexisNexis to circumvent local policies in sanctuary cities. We speak with Cinthya Rodriguez, organizer with the immigrant justice group Mijente, who explains how "one of the biggest data brokers in the world" is "getting rich off of the backs of community members," particularly among immigrant communities of color and activists.
