Hey there.
It's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Miles Parks.
I cover voting.
And we also have NPR reporters Kat Lonsdorf and Jude Joffe Block joining us today.
How do you both?
Hey.
Hey.
So today on the show,
we're going to be talking about how the Department of Homeland Security is surveilling people in new ways.
because you both, along with NPR's Meg Anderson,
have been digging into a bunch of different tools that DHS is using to track both people who are in the United States illegally,
but also US citizens.
And I want to start with this example of this woman in Minneapolis named Emily,
who your story kind of opens with as well.
Tell us about who she is and what her experience kind of shows.
Yeah.
So Emily's experience was back in late January.
She was out driving around her neighborhood in Minneapolis patrolling for ICE as a constitutional observer.
I'll just say we're only ID'ing Emily by her first name
