Flock Safety halts cooperation with federal agencies amid investigation concerns

Flock Safety paused pilot programs with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations on August 25, 2025. Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said an audit found CBP had accessed Illinois data, calling it “a clear violation of the state law.” Flock CEO Garrett Langley said parameters were unclear. Flock added flag terms including “abortion,” “immigration” and “ICE” in late June. Federal agencies can no longer make blanket statewide searches.
