Bold white text on orange banners reads: “Cook County data can still make its way to ICE.” A black box below says: “Swipe to learn how we strengthen data protections and limit ICE access to County information!” Logos along the bottom: Mijente, OCAD, Just Futures Law, and Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights.Slide titled “The Problem.” Text reads: “Data broker companies are collecting, selling, and sharing our information with third parties such as ICE.” Bullet points: Big tech and data broker companies can share Cook County residents’ personal information, often without our knowledge or consent. This includes sensitive information like addresses, utility data, cell phone records, medical data, jail release times, and more. ICE can access this data to surveil, detain, and deport community members, skirting the County’s local data protections. A highlighted box labeled “Amendment 26-2426” says: “The amendment would prevent county vendors from selling or sharing personal data with third parties, including ICE, subject to legal exceptions.” Logos of Mijente, OCAD, Just Futures Law, and ICIRR at the bottom.Slide titled “What You Can Do.” Email your Commissioner: win.newmode.net/mijente/yeson262426.
