Techdirt. – ICE Using Repurposed Border Facial Recognition Tech To ID Protesters, Activists, And Migrants On US Streets

Jul 072025
 

The Trump Administration’s constant escalation of its mass deportation programs now means ICE, CBP, and other federal agencies must come up with thousands of arrests a day. This never had anything to do with removing criminals from the country and, even if you once believed that might be the case, an unending string of raids by ICE has clearly demonstrated this is all about removing as many non-whites from the US as possible.
