More specifically, the Border Patrol are spying on reddit users. Why are they creating these reports themselves and not relying on other agencies to investigate? Does border patrol have jurisdiction over all national security matters?

>The spying is revealed in a January intelligence bulletin produced by the Border Patrol and leaked to me.

Reminds me of the "oopsie" by Reddit when they revealed Eglin Air Force Base as the "most addicted city."

It takes 20mins to fet from base houseing to the gate, lord k ows what traffic is like by the causeways, its an hour of driving before you're anywhere worth being and then its a coin flip if its exciting, so its either the ft. Walton beach strip clubs or onbase recreation.

No wonder eglin is addicted hahaha.

But in all seriousness, there are teams of people on the data crunch side of things that seems like a pedestrian insight

One of the mistaken beliefs of contemporary neofascists is that Pournelle's Iron Law only applies to bureaucracies. It would be much much less work for ICE to stop executing American citizens, stop abducting citizens and lawful immigrants, and stop keeping deportees in overcrowded and opaque concentration camps, and repair their own reputation by generally operating within the law like good faith public servants. But obviously doing that would not meet the needs of the expanding autocracy.
