💨 Abstract

GangNet, a database used by police agencies to track gang members, was decommissioned due to increased costs and decreased usage. The database led to a lawsuit accusing Prince George's County of illegal mass surveillance. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident deported for alleged MS-13 ties, was in the database when initially accused of gang affiliation by police officer Ivan Mendez.
