ACLU released more than 1,800 documents it says shows that ICE accessed license plate tracking data from more than 80 law enforcement groups, though two that spoke with NBCNews deny the allegations.
Two other California police agencies, including one named by the ACLU in its press release, disputed their inclusion on Vigilant’s list.
“We do subscribe to Vigilant Solutions as a ‘read only,’ client, we cannot input info,” he said in an email. “We use the information from that source for our own local investigations. We do not share that information with ICE. If we should get [ALPRs] in the future, we would not share information we gather with ICE.”
While the department does occasionally receive data from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, which maintains 34 ALPRs mounted on patrol cars, the county agency says it does not provide data to federal authorities.
