ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show
-
The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.
“The app uses CBP's Traveler Verification Service and the Seizure and Apprehension Workflow that contains the biometric gallery of individuals for whom CBP maintains derogatory information for facial recognition,” the email reads. The exact definition of derogatory information in this context is not clear but 404 Media has previously reported on a database that ICE uses to find “derogatory” speech online.
I shouldn't be shocked or surprised, and yet, I am. Fuck this.

I meant like forensically finding out who they are. It can be done and I bet there is a lot of people online who would pitch in.

Many red states have banned wearing masks at protests.

Facial recognition gets more false positives on POC. This is just an excuse to lock up innocent people.
