CISC 'affirmative authorization' claim creates direct conflict with ICE contract

CISC states: 'Sharing beyond the consortium occurs only if and to the extent the contributing agency affirmatively authorizes that sharing. Agencies may tailor, limit, or revoke those permissions.' This directly conflicts with ICE's $22.1M contract for PSDEX access. One of three scenarios must be true: (a) all 124 CISC agencies individually authorized ICE access — possibly without understanding it; (b) the joinder agreement they signed constitutes implied consent to federal access; or (c) LexisNexis's federal customer contracts operate independently of agency-level permissions. None of these scenarios reflects what CISC is representing to agencies. Key tension for The Pushback and ICE Pipeline sections.
