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 irony of masked individuals using facial recognition on people.
Privacy invasion for thee, not for me.
Try using the infrared settings if you have them. You can potentially use it to photograph them through the masks and glasses.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.
I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…
There’s no model that can differentiate between 7 billion people. They all come with a limit. I didn’t check the current latest model, because a few years ago when I worked in the field, such models shit themselves beyond 20million people.
Just to say, using face detection only, like these pieces of shit are doing, will for sure make them detain people who have nothing to do with anything.
They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.
The party that wanted to “destroy the deep state” became the deep state overnight. Imagine that.
Privacy advocacy is necessary to protect people from tyranny, regardless which end of the political spectrum it happens to come from; and regardless whether the oppressor is a state actor, a private corporate actor, or some blend.
I’m salty about the real ID. Fuck that shit. I still don’t have one but I’m going to be forced to eventually. Unless I want to drive across the country to see family.
Does a state ID opt you in to the facial recognition?
Me neither. But eventually I’ll be forced to somehow too.
This is why I’m avoiding traveling through tsa during Trump’s presidency
Praying for another Christoper Dorner
Unmask and dox these cowardly racist motherfuckers.
There is now a website doing exactly that:
https://icelist.info/
That’s returning a “406 Not Acceptable” response. I’ve never even seen one except in http docs.
One time I saw an http 418, but I think someone just configured it wrong on purpose.
Works by the skin color, I suppose, more dark greater the possibility of an terrorist or worse, a communist. To keep America clean and hetero WASP
But… the girl on the left looks like a Latina.
SHOOT HER SHE’S ARMED.
Probably thanks to Palandir…
Libertarianism for me, dystopian serfdom for thee.
Thanks, Peter Thiel.
