For those following this story—while we were able to identify the ICE agent in the high-viz vest brandishing a rifle as Brenden Cuni, DHS still hasn't confirmed who the shooter is. Cuni has worked for DHS in various roles for nearly a decade and is currently in a supervisory position.
NEW: ICE agent in a high-viz vest holding a rifle at the scene of shooting near the Bronx has a history of allegedly lying, using excessive force, and courts have found his arrests unlawful. @dmehro.bsky.social @awinston.bsky.social, @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.
This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

NEW: The ICE agent seen wearing a hi-vis vest and waving around an AR-style rifle at the scene of the shooting in New York was a supervisor named Brenden Cuni, who has a history of alleged violence and lying in court. @dmehro.bsky.social,
@awinston.bsky.social, and @regret.bsky.social report:
The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has a record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the same gun he had on him today

NEW: Come for the 5-minute videos the Pentagon is hoping will speed up "kill chain" AI buys, stay for the historical tensions between Silicon Valley & the military and how the government accidentally consolidated a market to its detriment www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
Would love to chat if you or other folks you know were affected by this—the filing made it seem like this was not isolated to Maine. I’m in signal at mvarner.01.
NEW: Partially unsealed court filings show that ICE has been putting photos of people observing their activities into a Palantir-built database as well as tracking and intimidating them. @regret.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the details:
NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings.
NEW: A recently unsealed court filing that heavily cites government-produced documents + DHS agent depositions alleges that yes, there *is* a DHS database that's filled with protesters, called ICM. It's built by Palantir. www.wired.com/story/ice-ha...
Almost immediately after, the FTC confirmed it was doing some? sort of investigation? into several AI companies? but hasn't actually taken the initial steps needed for that yet? (whatever happened to the OpenAI one that was reportedly opened in 2023?) www.youtube.com/watch?si=rWT...
More updates from the AI regulations trenches: a bunch of AI companies signed some voluntary agreements that are maybe similar to some other voluntary agreements they all previously signed.
NEW: A major joint investigation by the Palestine Reporting Lab, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism, @lighthousereports.com, and @wired.com mapped all 925 checkpoints that are effectively shutting down life for Palestinians in the West Bank: www.wired.com/story/how-is...
