So I’ve just been thinking about privacy, and how everyone’s location can be tracked. Then I realized: What about people who have no permission to enter the country?

Like do they just decide to not have a phone, or do they still have phones and just roll the dice and hope they don’t get caught?

        Unless they post on those social media that their visa is expiring, how are social media profiles to know that info?

        Yes there is plenty of track-able info on this person’s phone.
        Law enforcement still needs to know exactly who they’re looking for, in order to know exactly which phone to track.
        If the individual in question is undocumented, by definition they can’t know exactly who they’re looking for. They can’t tie them to a specific individual phone.
