Federal officials use local Flock access for immigration lookups

No formal ICE contract needed: federal officials asked state and local police to run Flock searches, 4,000+ lookups for immigration purposes as of summer 2026.

How we know: Carried forward, not re-checked in v3.28. The term "side door" comes from 404 Media and NPR reporting, not from the Javorsky complaint; attribute it to that reporting.
