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.

      ICE officers are consistently wearing masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to mask their identity while detaining 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…

      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.

        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.

        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.
