Text of the page (random words):
ical kinks and managed to stabilize ojo obrero siembra assigned 30 of its most tech savvy volunteers to vet the deluge of tips in a matter of days the organization was able to get the word out about certain habits such as federal agents affinity for pulling over white work vans you could see day to day ok this is kind of the pattern that they re doing yesterday so probably today might look similar says garcés and so it really helped people think about how to stay safe but concepcion took little pleasure in ojo obrero s success he was becoming increasingly troubled by his social media feeds now jammed with videos of wailing people being dragged into blacked out suvs like millions of others he found himself sucked into what he terms the algorithmic rage loop and he was questioning how work like his could avoid playing into that dismal phenomenon after two months of phone calls with concepcion i drove up to syracuse in december arriving right as a treacherous nighttime snowstorm began to blanket the city the next morning concepcion took me to meet gabriel and his father at the latin restaurant where they both now worked the baby faced gabriel emerged from the kitchen to show off his ankle monitor which he said was almost too scratchy to bear his cheerful dad meanwhile insisted on serving me a gargantuan mound of barbacoa as he ladled it out of steam trays arranged beneath a sign that read welcome to our home gabriel s father recounted in spanish how just the day before masked men had taken someone from the gas station across the street as concepcion and i ate in the fluorescent lit dining room half a dozen men in high visibility vests came to grab lunch concepcion introduced himself and learned that they were undocumented brazilians who d been doing road repair jobs around the northeast he then showed them how to add a shortcut for the deicer web app to their phones home screens the brazilians seemed courteous but wary of whether deicer could do them much good concepcion was accustomed to such skepticism in the months since he d started tussling with apple he had come to believe that tools like deicer were failing to make inroads with his target audience he worried they were instead being used by well intentioned observers whose aim is to record videos of ice abuses and disseminate them to communities already predisposed to loathing the trump administration concepcion believes this content is exhausting viewers to the point that many will retreat from a fight that the algorithms portray as futile and so immigrants will keep vanishing regardless of how many cameras capture their pain concepcion s proposed solution is for organizations that have spent years building trust within immigrant communities like siembra to start evangelizing the likes of deicer crowdsourced monitoring tools he insists can give immigrants a 20 minute advance warning when ice is en route concepcion has no qualms about the legality of such alerts which he compares to the tips about police activity that are offered by google maps but plenty of local groups have been bypassing the open internet altogether after lunch concepcion and i drove to visit maria hernandez the store owner whose facebook post had inspired deicer s creation she said she was still delivering groceries to people in hiding and that the local immigrants she knew weren t using any sort of monitoring apps coded by outsiders instead they apprised one another of ice s movements in private whatsapp groups on our way back to syracuse that evening concepcion and i discussed his latest attempt to get deicer back on the app store this time he had revamped it so that pins had to be imported from a separate platform one that he planned to offer to nonprofit organizations that aid immigrants concepcion fully expected this second appeal to be rejected which is why he d started talking to lawyers about filing a lawsuit but where the creator of iceblock had sued numerous trump administration officials concepcion told me he wanted to sue apple for 100 million he couldn t express much of a legal rationale for such a suit he only spoke vaguely of punishing apple for betraying its old values there should be a cost of selling out your consumers he said adding that he intended to donate the money to the national day laborer organizing network concepcion s basement workstation photograph luis manuel diaz listening to this implausible scheme added to my growing sense that concepcion was fraying around the edges aside from dealing with his routine mental health issues he was now under tremendous financial pressure unemployed yet on the hook for upwards of 3 000 a month in ai subscriptions and hosting services last night i just laid down and cried he said to me during one vulnerable moment i was like fuck this has been a tough thing this whole not knowing what s going to happen not knowing where the next paycheck s going to come from people in concepcion s orbit know he tends to let his better angels blot out his common sense curt hedges an executive at a health supplements company who befriended concepcion years ago once contributed a large sum to concepcion s charitable effort to purchase equipment for a group of laotian photographers he doesn t have a moderate switch it s either all in or all out he says yet hedges has seen how concepcion s passions however noble can lead to personal problems including massive credit card debt and when he started getting 3 am texts from concepcion about deicer hedges began to worry i ve been hesitant to rescue him because when you rescue him it just gets him another six months down further into that situation he told me it isn t as healthy as it should be when ice swarmed into minneapolis this winter its agents came equipped with all manner of sophisticated surveillance tools as first reported by 404 media for example ice was now deploying an app called elite that uses medicaid and other confidential health data to identify potential detainees agents were also increasing their reliance on webloc software that can track every cell phone within a multi block radius but the city s spirited resistance was not without its own technological resources in addition to signal chats many locals embraced people over papers a crowdsourced mapping tool at iceout org that has a lot in common with deicer the site teemed with scores of eyewitness reports about suspected ice agents staking out schools chatting with local cops and eating in taquerias i reached out to concepcion in mid january to get his take on the situation in minneapolis and to ask about his continued back and forth with apple i knew he was now preparing his third appeal of deicer s expulsion from the app store but when we connected he said he had a much more pressing concern on his mind on the morning of january 9 ice had arrested gabriel s father according to concepcion gabriel s father had been driving with his wife to the restaurant when they were stopped concepcion said the agents commended the couple on being cooperative then gave them an agonizing choice one of them would have to submit to arrest while the other could go free gabriel s father volunteered to take the fall and had subsequently been transported to batavia the same detention center where his son had spent a few terrible weeks in april concepcion dropped everything to once more provide material assistance to gabriel s family he arranged a meeting with a lawyer who noted that bail was highly unlikely given the current environment he instead recommended filing a habeas petition a legal maneuver that could take many months to be processed since january 2025 more than 30 000 people in immigration detention have filed habeas petitions concepcion also drove to batavia to visit gabriel s father who was in poor health due to the facility s conditions sections of the center are so underheated during winter that detainees have nicknamed them las hieleras the iceboxes finally on january 29 out of the blue concepcion received a whatsapp message it was from gabriel s father ya estoy en méxico he wrote unable to tolerate batavia any longer he had volunteered to be deported gabriel is still waiting for his next court date to be set wired has obscured his personal information to safeguard the integrity of his legal process concepcion was now devoting substantial time and energy to providing direct aid to undocumented immigrants in syracuse he found it psychologically soothing to say give someone a safe ride home from the restaurant after their shift but he was also deep into multiple new coding projects one he called vote defender a platform meant to be used by polling place observers during the upcoming midterm elections another was a massachusetts specific version of deicer sponsored by an immigrant justice nonprofit there geared toward a potential ice surge in boston as he neared the finish line with those projects however yet another catastrophe struck on the morning of february 2 concepcion awoke to discover that all of his anti ice coding projects had been hacked people who d registered to use deicer which had largely been dormant since november were sent ominous push alerts your information has been compromised and sent to the fbi hsi and ice the text read rc is a terrible coder concepcion claims he didn t store users personal data one of the alleged attackers posted on x that they had acted to prevent the doxing of federal agents concepcion was further stung when an x user who goes by bitchuneedsoap posted a conspiratorial screed complete with screenshots from concepcion s hacked files in which he suggested that deicer was funded by millions in dark money the replies were filled with demands that concepcion be arrested and prosecuted for racketeering or even treason the allegations made in the post were soon woven into a fox news story that characterized concepcion as part of a shadow network of anti ice scouts fearful of exposure siembra nc cut ties with concepcion who in turn began to shop around for new home security cameras since

goldendoodle dixie photograph luis manuel diaz though concepcion managed to get his sites back online including the beta version of his massachusetts app he was clearly shaken by the hack and its aftermath an unease that only intensified in early march when us customs and border protection revoked his global entry status without explanation he sought solace from his mother who now lives in florida fearing for her son s safety after seeing a news story about the hack she advised him to step away from the immigration fight and become a waiter or dishwasher instead but the act of trying to counter ice has become so central to concepcion s sense of self that he seems intent on sticking with his work i told her of course i m afraid this is problematic and it would be so much easier if bills were paid and i didn t have to worry about things he says there s just something telling me to try something else and i can t explain it if i m completely honest i don t want to explain it i just want to keep going ________________________________________ what say you let us know what you think about this article in the comments below alternatively you can submit a letter to the editor at
