:rofl: why would they? All that is already for sale, pally. Find a data broker, fork over twenty bucks, and all that info is fair game. Hell, fire up a TOR client, find a data breach that contains your device’s MAC address or static IP, pay five or ten bucks, and same deal, but now I can drain your credit card.

Since due process is off the table, we’ve determined (without a trial) that you’re not a citizen, and you’re being deported to a country you’ve never been to, where they will imprison you at our request, and they don’t speak any language you do.
Why? Because we’re ICE. Fuck you.

You are so naive it’s almost impressive.

I don’t need to show you a badge. No one does. I can’t just go get your info from the data broker.
Perhaps you see the problem here…

I believe there has been a case of this. I remember a person phished some service to give them access to a person’s account or account data under the guise of “lives are on the line here”

I’ll do you one better. Murders have been committed using data purchased from brokers: wired.com/…/minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-people-s…

Once I looked celebrity’s well-known family member just to see how bad data brokers are. It game me her info and it had a relative section that listed all of the celebrity’s info too, including addresses and phone numbers. It was bonkers that it was so easy to find. Especially, since I didn’t pay for it. That was just 100% free searches on various data sites and google. Imagine what I could have done if I had paid for info.
