Connections between ICE, Israel, ADL & JINSA - Israel is exporting their violent tactics to be used on Americans!ICE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have longstanding operational, technological, and training ties with Israel.
Since the early 2000s, DHS has maintained a liaison presence in Israel, formalizing cooperation on counterterrorism, cyber operations, and border security. ICE’s investigative arm, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), operates an office in Tel Aviv, coordinating with the Israel Police, Shin Bet, and Israel’s Ministry of Defense on intelligence sharing, joint investigations, and technology transfer.
In 2022, DHS signed new bilateral security cooperation agreements with Israel, expanding joint work on biometric data sharing, cyber intelligence, and border surveillance technology. These agreements allow ICE and DHS agencies to access and contribute to shared intelligence databases.
ICE and other DHS agencies have also purchased surveillance and spyware tools from Israeli companies, including Paragon Solutions, enabling phone hacking, data scraping, location tracking, and cellphone communications monitoring.
Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems helped build large portions of the U.S.–Mexico border surveillance infrastructure, including radar towers, drones, and remote sensors. These technologies were first tested on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza before deployment in the United States.
DHS and Israel also jointly fund research through programs such as BIRD Foundation, which supports the development of new technologies for border protection, biometric tracking, and surveillance systems.
In parallel, U.S. immigration officials, including ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents, have participated in U.S.–Israel law enforcement exchange programs. These are not official DHS or ICE training requirements, but are organized by outside nonprofits and universities.
Key programs include the Anti-Defamation League National Counter-Terrorism Seminar, which brought U.S. law enforcement officials, including ICE participants, to Israel in multiple years, including 2010, 2014, and 2015; the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) Law Enforcement Exchange Program, operating since 2002; and the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE).
These exchanges involve meetings and trainings with Israeli police and security forces focused on counterterrorism, border control, surveillance, and crowd-control tactics. Funding typically comes from private donors, nonprofit budgets, and external grants, rather than DHS or ICE training funds.
Much of what is publicly known about ICE and DHS participation comes from watchdog groups, investigative reporting, and civil-rights organizations, rather than direct DHS disclosures.
