About this document
Comprehensive investigation by Bob Ambrogi (LawNext, Apr 27, 2026) into Thomson Reuters CLEAR and LexisNexis Accurint contracts with ICE. Key facts: LexisNexis LEIDS contract $22.1M (2021-2026) marked completed Feb 2026, no successor confirmed. ICE explicitly acknowledged using LexisNexis because agencies 'do not share information about real-time incarceration of foreign-born nationals with ICE.' Fourth Amendment loophole via third-party doctrine. DHS paid $333M+ to LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters since 2003. Part 2 covers internal resistance.
