Multiple sources document that immigration enforcement used Flock camera data to track immigrants, mainly through local police searches on ICE's behalf, including Atlanta police records showing searches to track migrants and public records showing an ICE search via Florida's wildlife agency. The post's word "occasionally" understates the reported scale, but the core assertion holds as of 2026-08-18.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… On the right, liberty-loving American patriots would like their liberty back, please. They'd like to be able to get in their car and drive from one location to another without a government record of their pattern of life. On the left, they want to get rid of Flock cameras because, in many cases, they don't like the idea that apparently immigration enforcement has occasionally used them in order to track down illegal aliens who are in our country.

What we found

Supports. Atlanta Police Department audit records show that on at least 15 occasions investigators searched thousands of Flock cameras to track migrants, using terms like "ERO assist" that reference ICE's Enforcement Removal Operations division.[3][4]

Supports. Public records obtained by 404 Media, as reported by Governing, show ICE searched the Flock network through Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and that police searched for individuals with Flock.[5]

Supports. Snopes reports that searches by local law enforcement agencies on behalf of ICE can tap Flock customer data, following reports of ICE accessing Flock data through local cooperation.[1]

Supports. The Washington Examiner reports ICE tracks select illegal immigrant drivers through Flock readers via cooperative agreements in more than 2,300 jurisdictions, with local police pulling data and sharing it with ICE.[6]

Context. AP reported in August 2025 that Flock paused pilot programs with CBP and HSI amid concerns about the purpose of federal investigations, and a TCPalm analysis cited in The Ledger found Florida Flock searches increasingly targeted suspected undocumented immigrants.[2][7]

Context. The extraction drops the qualifiers "apparently" and "occasionally"; the sources describe a wider pattern than occasional use, which does not change the verdict because the central assertion is supported.[5][6][7]
