Google Gave a British Student’s Credit Card and Bank Information to ICE

Google handed a British graduate student’s bank and credit card information over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after he was targeted by the agency for attending a pro-Palestine protest for just five minutes.

The tech giant fulfilled a subpoena request from ICE for “a wide array of personal data” on Amandla Thomas-Johnson, an activist and journalist who was studying in the US at Cornell University, The Intercept reported.

Thomas-Johnson went into hiding in the college town of Ithaca, upstate New York, in spring last year as Donald Trump’s administration began rounding up foreign students who opposed Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
