One especially ridiculous case, ICE agents abducted a US citizen walking home from the gym.

The agents put a citizen into handcuffs and dragged him into an unmarked car that had no license plates at all!

Once in the car they scanned his face using the DHS app MobileFortify.

The feds insist that they should be able to keep biometric scans of citizens obtained forcefully in roving raids like this one.

The document shows a shift at ICE towards lawless roving patrols.

There's obviously no requirement for American citizens to carry proof of citizenship at all times.

But not only is ICE demanding proof of citizenship while pointing guns at people they are also demanding biometric scans of faces and even fingerprints without a warrant or even probable cause!

This lawsuit is possibly even more damning than Minnesota's.

Illinois AG Kwame Raoul laid out what ICE/CBP are technically allowed to do when operating in the interior of the country.

Largely ICE needs a warrant or very clear probable cause to detain or question a person. They typically need to know long in advance who it is they are their to detain.

Instead of that very individualized enformecent ICE is doing cartoon evil shit, like patroling on a gunboat for papers.

"ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien."

Every person involved in this decision needs to be hit over the head with a copy of Kashmir Hill's "Your Face Belongs to Us" until they come to their senses.

#MobileFortify: Liberty’s existential threat, or sensible way to ID illegal immigrants?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are using a new phone app: Mobile Fortify puts “instant, #AI powered” #FacialRecognition in their hands. What could possibly go wrong?

A major risk is inaccurate recognition. In #SBBlogwatch, the French want their statue back.
