  1. Original Date Announced

    April 29, 2025

    The Washington Post reports that the law-enforcement arm of the United States Postal Service (USPS) has joined a DHS Task Force focused on finding and deporting undocumented immigrants. Postal inspectors are reportedly sharing surveillance tools like mail covers -- an investigative tool generally used for criminal cases -- tracking data and even IP addresses to help immigration officers locate people. Internal emails suggest the Postal Inspection Service felt pressured to cooperate, hoping to avoid political fallout. Critics, including within USPS, raise concerns about privacy, civil liberties, and the weaponization of federal institutions.
