“As far as I know, there’s never been a PPO that was deployed to protect postal facilities based on intelligence gleaned from iCOP,” Mr. Albergo said. “I mean, I don’t know what they could be using that for. To my eyes, it’s certainly not to protect the postal service.
“It’s a federal law enforcement agency that’s completely out of control, if you ask me.”
Congressional Republicans have sought information about what iCOP is doing but have received few answers. Chief Postal Inspector Gary R. Barksdale privately briefed lawmakers on the program last month. He said the agency expanded iCOP’s function last year as threats to Postal Service leadership, employees and facilities increased, according to Rep. James Comer, the top-ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

The Postal Service was created by our founders in the Constitution. This same document guards against unreasonable searches and seizures.
They literally fought the revolution over this goal, to be free from unreasonable search by the government. They would roll in their graves to learn that the Postal Service of all government agencies has transformed into an arm of the deep state, a kind of thought police with its own “covert” surveillance agency to monitor the social media activities of the public for “inflammatory” content.
The Postal Service can’t even deliver our mail on time, but it thinks it’s appropriate to run a sophisticated domestic spy program targeting its customers? Why is the post office running an intelligence operation?

Rep. Debbie Lesko sent a letter to U.S. Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to request a briefing on the validity of reports regarding the United States Postal Inspection Serviceâs Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) and alleged tracking of the social media accounts of American citizens.
âThere have been reports that the USPS has been running a covert operations program that monitors Americansâ social media accounts,â Lesko said.Â
âI am requesting a briefing from the USPS to find out whether these reports are true, the scope of the iCOP program, and whether USPS has been sharing American citizensâ data with other government agencies. We must get to the bottom of these allegations regarding USPSâs invasion of Americansâ privacy.â

Everyone knew the Biden Regime would use the January 6 Mostly Peaceful Protest as an excuse to crack down on patriotic Americans and Trump supporters. But news reports through the past two weeks demonstrate just what Biden and his Leftist allies on Capitol Hill, Big Tech, and the Regime Media have in mind: A major surveillance operation involving not only the usual federal alphabet agencies but also private informers to designate dissidents as “terrorists” and “white supremacists;” and co-opting the private sector to punish them as in putting America First Nicholas Fuentes on the no-fly list.
Let’s start with today’s alarming news: Biden plans to pay “outside entities” to surveil social media for information about “extremist groups.” And “extremist groups” doesn’t mean Antifa and Black Lives Matter:
