Social Media Monitoring: How the Department of Homeland Security Uses Digital Data in the Name of National Security

This paper from the Brennan Center for Justice maps social media exploitation by the four parts of Department of Homeland Security that are most central to immigration: Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. It also examines DHS’s cooperation with the Department of State, which plays a key role in immigration vetting.
