Thomson Reuters Told ICE Its CLEAR Database Offers "Continuous Monitoring" — Contradicting Its Public Denials

A procurement document obtained by 404 Media reveals Thomson Reuters told ICE its CLEAR database enables "continuous monitoring" of millions — aggregating property records, social media, and geolocation data. That directly contradicts the company's public claim that its tools aren't for surveillance. The sole-source contract, worth US$125 million and renewed in 2026, began in 2015.
