Immigration & Naturalization Service Buys National ID files from ChoicePoint
These documents, obtained by EPIC through a FOIA request, show that the Immigration and Naturalization Service purchased personal information from the national ID databases of several Latin American countries. These databases were constructed by ChoicePoint, an Atlanta-based profiling company that has also sold information to the FBI. ChoicePoint has a contract with INS to provide citizen registry, motor vehicle, and other information for Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Columbia, and Costa Rica.
