ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show

www.404media.co English

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.

              Many red states have banned wearing masks at protests.

              Upload a photo of an LAPD cop to identify them. It’s not ICE or all jurisdictions, but it’s a start.

                remember when they demanded you take off your mask at the no kings protest?

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

                      I went to look for this article about two black men who look similar, and found a recent case of similar looking men that were arrested, resulting in a dismissed conviction against one

                      I don’t think they look identical in pictures, personally, but am also aware of how faulty eyewitness testimony is

                      It’s difficult to identify cops when they hide their name, badge number, and face. And when they get extra, pro bono legal support when challenged.

                      And those are just the developments from this year that I can recall.

                        So this is why GOP just introduced a bill in MI that would allow the police to force you to remove your mask. Good thing ICE is not police so they can fuck off if they tell me to remove my mask.

                          Can’t people identify these agents?

                              This is exactly why so many of them are masked.
