Illinois Secretary of State's Flock audit, 25 August 2025

the researcher's note
Illinois Secretary of State's Flock audit, 25 August 2025. ilsos.gov returns 403 to curl and to WebFetch, as it did in the previous harvest; news.wttw.com and the Wednesday Journal sit behind Cloudflare too. Reporting says the audit sampled 12 local agencies and found Flock in violation of the Illinois law barring sharing for immigration or abortion purposes, with a CBP pilot running that Flock's own leadership did not know about — but its units are searches and agencies, so it would fail gate 3 even if fetched.
