13. They do this in China and Saudi too

ICE has access to the same dictator spy ware. Bidden outlawed it. Pedo Trump gave it to ICE. It's what helped the Saudis to murder and chop up Jamal Khashoggi.

It's a spyware that can get in your phone and sends all your info like location, camera images and text/phone call info to who ever wants it. Pedo allows ICE to use it on all of us. It does all this without you knowing or even having to click on it.

Here is one version of it:

Paragon Solutions' Graphite

Zero-click capability: The spyware can infect a phone through "zero-click" exploits, meaning it does not require the user to interact with a link or file to gain access.

Extensive data extraction: Once deployed, Graphite can give ICE agents access to a device's messages, encrypted chats (including Signal and WhatsApp), photos, and real-time location data.

Uses as a listening device: The spyware can also be used to turn a phone into a remote listening device by manipulating the phone's microphone.

Concerns over misuse: The Biden administration had previously placed a "stop-work order" on the $2 million contract due to concerns over the software's potential for human rights abuses. This pause was lifted in August 2025.

Probably all our phones are infected with it.
