Columbus has restricted access to its Flock license-plate reader network for agencies with agreements with ICE, after concerns over immigration-related searches. The city barred four agencies with ICE ties from its network and ceased sharing data with others that recently partnered with ICE, in line with its policy against using city resources for immigration enforcement. Despite efforts to revoke data sharing, some agencies with ICE agreements still have access, and monitoring new partnerships remains a manual process. The move follows an audit revealing thousands of potentially immigration-related searches, with officials emphasizing that the data will not be used for immigration enforcement purposes.
