Overview
- A user guide obtained by 404 Media describes ELITE as a map-based tool that displays potential deportation targets with dossiers including name, photo, Alien Number, date of birth, and a 0–100 address confidence score.
- The Geospatial Lead Sourcing interface lets agents filter by categories such as Bios & IDs, Criminality, Location, and Operations, then select multiple targets by drawing shapes on a map.
- In a sworn deposition about a Woodburn, Oregon dragnet raid, an ICE Fugitive Operations officer said agents used the app to find “target‑rich” areas, prioritizing denser clusters with higher likelihood scores.
- Reported data inputs include records from HHS, USCIS, and a system called CLEAR, which 404 Media notes could refer to Thomson Reuters software.
- Contract documents show the app’s full name in a $29.9 million supplemental agreement that began in September, following a July ICE deal for an ImmigrationOS platform, though the user guide itself does not name a vendor.
