![Facts and details:
The ATF analyst requested access to the RPD license plate reader program on
February 7, 2025, to “assist our agents and TFOs [Task Force Officers] with
investigations in and around Richmond.”
At that time of their request, the ATF was not actively involved with immigration
enforcement.
The RPD administrator of the program granted access to the ATF analyst.
The RPD administrator of the program has since separated from the department.
In March 2025, the mission of the ATF changed to include immigration enforcement.
In early March, four detainees from an ICE detention facility in Farmville, Virginia
escaped. In the effort to assist the investigation, the ATF analyst made numerous
inquiries to RPD’s license plate reader program in an effort to apprehend the
escapees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7keeiuhmqfxim42c6tibwvzw/bafkreihhx5n2wbr25u5wanaadiofvolpgi5iudw4gp4ryb4uh5bhs6fa2m)
