Huq believes that a state\u2019s ability to monitor and regulate data brokerage is unlikely. And there\u2019s nothing that would stop another data company from taking over the contract with ICE, similar to LexisNexis taking over for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/04\/29\/thomsonreuters-ice-clear-data\/\">Thomson Reuters<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCould a state regulate the data brokerage market? I think it would be hard to do that because so much of it is just hard to see,\u201d said Huq. \u201cData might be gathered in Illinois, but it&#8217;s almost certainly not kept in Illinois. Data has a physical storage place. And if you have data that&#8217;s produced initially in Illinois, but then is bought and sold somewhere else, I don&#8217;t know how the state will ever find out about it to enforce its rules. I have a hard time seeing how it would work in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fws_69dedad3cd3f5\" data-midnight=\"\" data-column-margin=\"default\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row inner_row\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\"> <div class=\"row-bg\" ><\/div> <\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12_inner col span_12  left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone border_bottom_desktop_1px border_color_000000 border_style_solid \"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_sep_color_black wpb_content_element vc_separator-has-text\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><h4 id=\"read-more-of-our-coverage\">Read More of Our Coverage<\/h4><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts-container pk-inline-posts-template-list\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-columns=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<article id=\"post-18694\" class=\"post-18694 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-immigration-policy category-investigation tag-lexisnexisice\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-outer\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay pk-overlay-ratio pk-ratio-landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay-background\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2023\/03\/02\/lexisnexis-contract-with-ice-allows-for-illegal-surveillance-of-immigrants-lawsuit-claims\/\" class=\"pk-overlay-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/23.02.28-Lexis-Nexis_web-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-pk-thumbnail size-pk-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"A mother and her two children and mother-in-law sit on a couch with a blue wall in the background.
