Photos captured by Mobile Fortify will be stored for 15 years, regardless of immigration or citizenship status, the document says.
Papers, please.
This is scary:
On Wednesday, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson told 404 Media in a statement that ICE will prioritize the results of the app over birth certificates. “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,” he said. “ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms
They got impossible quotas to fill
What open source technologies does it use? Someone could do a supply-side attack.
And unless they can show me a warrant, I’ll be wearing a mask.
They will just beat the shit out of you and pull down your mask and do it regardless
And this is exactly what the Second Amendment is designed for.
Don’t tell the GOP that though
Why don’t Democrats run on a privacy platform. Sure there’s Senator Wyden, but other dems need to be on this. Pivot and make the Democratic party the privacy party.
Stop wishing for the democrats to come and save you. They never will, we have to do it ourselves.
Democrats will do nothing. Trump is right when he calls them “do-nothing democrats”. All they do is sit in their high castle and say “why can’t we all just get along?”.
They are complicit in all of this.
Because Democrats want it too.
Oh yes I can
UNCONSTITUTIONAL: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Yeah I’m really glad DHS doesn’t get to arbitrarily override the constitution
That’s ok, they’ll just get their pals at the Supreme Court to make a ruling in their favor.
Y’all acting like the rule of law still applies. Smdh
Yeah… well you prob not wrong there sadly.
Any ICE or DHS employees who try to scan my face aren’t allowed to walk away unscathed.
Send ICE to antartica
If you go to a protest, wear a gaiter and glasses and ballcap just like those ICE fuckers. And depending where you live you might just want to make this your default outfit for leaving the house at all.
Bet me.
The U.S. Department of Defense quickly viewed biometric data and what it called “identity dominance” as the cornerstone of multiple counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies. Identity dominance means being able to keep track of people the military considers a potential threat regardless of aliases, and ultimately denying organizations the ability to use anonymity to hide their activities.
By 2004, thousands of U.S. military personnel had been trained to collect biometric data to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. By 2007, U.S. forces were collecting biometric data primarily through mobile devices such as the Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) and Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE). BAT includes a laptop, fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. HIIDE is a single small device that incorporates a fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. Users of these devices can collect iris and fingerprint scans and facial photos, and match them to entries in military databases and biometric watchlists.
The book First Platoon, while not the best book in the world, is pretty interesting and depressing on that subject. Might be worth an audiobook listen.
My 4a…
We should all wear masks just like they do.
Imagine Trump voters reading this EXACT headline during Biden’s presidency. They would have lost their minds. They wouldn’t take a vaccine because they thought there was a 5g chip in it, but this is ok?
I think this says something more about the Left and Liberals in the USA :P
They care about reality?
They don’t read. Literally every headline r/Conservative goes like this:
“Illegal Immigrant took all the jobs then raped and murdered 100 babies. Libtards protested his deportation by throwing rocks at cops”
The literally only see propaganda to make them scared of immigrants and liberals. They don’t actually see any news about things the administration actually does/says.
They won’t even know they have a double standard.
I was raised by republicans so I can provide some insight. Its because they would have to admit they were wrong about Trump. You can either admit you were wrong and declare him a tyrant or you can back him on everything. You can guess which most of them choose.
Amen
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
- Carl Sagan
It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled

Not perhaps. All quotes have been authoritatively traced to Mark Twain, even this one.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.

Which that also blows my mind. Where did they get it in them that it’s so hard to admit your wrong?
It’s human nature that some people don’t feel, or don’t feel as acutely. There’s also a cultish aspect to it, where because everything is MAGA Vs democrats, all your friends and identity are likely bound up in the same thing, so admitting you were wrong isn’t just admitting you were wrong: it’s completely changing the way you see yourself and severing many relationships.
It starts from an extremely young age when they’re taught that questioning what their parents and pastor say is an unforgivable moral failure.
Ah. Religion.
It’s OK because it’s racist. They love that shit.
It’s a cult. You don’t disagree with dear leader. That’s the whole point of indoctrination. THEIR restrictive laws are evil and non constitutional. OUR restrive laws are for the good of everyone and backed by God.
These are the same asshats that are just fine with Taco invading blue cities and threatening more. Including the use of Marines, FFS. And he’s threatening a lot more. They are still with him.
But they had a collective freakout over Jade Helm.
Surely cougars wouldn’t eat my face.
The phrase is “leopards ate my face” but I like where your head is at ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I mean, I’m all for eating cougars…. Wait, what were we talking about?
I think I got it mixed up with “there aren’t cougars on missions” from DarkViperAU’s GTA5 streams.
The fuck I can’t!
