ICE Is Searching a Massive Insurance and Medical Bill Database to Find Deportation Targets


The database, called ISO ClaimSearch, is nearly all encompassing and contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills.

The database, which contains details on more than 1.8 billion insurance claims and 58 million medical bills and growing, includes peoples’ names, addresses, telephone and tax identification numbers, license plates, and other sensitive personal information. The document explaining the tool says that law enforcement agencies need to either be investigating insurance-related crime, or be developing background information on a list of people “who have been identified as persons of interest with regard to homeland security activity.” While NICB provides value to our member companies, we also serve a significant public benefit by helping to stem the estimated billions of dollars in economic harm that insurance crime causes to individual policyholders across the country every year.
