Research Findings

My investigation confirms that ICE has reinstated a $2 million contract with Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions, now owned by US private investment firm AE Industrial Partners. The original contract was signed on September 27, 2024, but was quickly suspended on October 8, 2024 following a White House review. The contract was reactivated on August 30, 2025, enabling what sources describe as the 'domestication' of Paragon through the AEI merger.

Paragon Solutions was purchased in late 2024 by American private investment firm AE Industrial Partners, which merged the Israeli company with REDLattice, a US company in AE's portfolio. This acquisition appears to have addressed the Biden administration's concerns about foreign spyware procurement. Both companies have extensive ties to US intelligence, with former CIA Assistant Director for Korea John Finbarr Fleming becoming executive chairman of Paragon's US branch in January 2024, and Andrew G. Boyd, former director of the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence, joining REDLattice's board in October 2023. ICE has now confirmed it is using Paragon's Graphite spyware as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.
