Dave,

A chain of California shopping centers is sharing its license plate reader data with a well-known U.S. Immigration 
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contractor, giving that agency the ability to track license plate numbers it captures 
in near real-time.

A report from the Electronic Frontier Foundation revealed that real estate group Irvine Company shares that data with 
Vigilant Solutions, a private surveillance tech company that sells automated license plate recognition (ALPR) 
equipment to law enforcement and government agencies. Irvine Company owns nearly 50 shopping centers across 
California with locations in Irvine, La Jolla, Newport Beach, Redwood City, San Jose, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. ICE 
finalized its contract with Vigilant Solutions in January of this year.

Best,
