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

And the people are using crowdsourcing to identify lCE.
We have apps the doxx the ICE agents. Let's see who blinks. A few thousand cowards or millions of citizens? We know of at least 5 million on no kings day
It's time to line up and stand up. If one works for the federal government in a law enforcement capacity and hasn't quit yet, that person is a traitor and a coward.
The irony of masked individuals using facial recognition on people.
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.
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...
There's no model that can differentiate between 7 billion people. They all come with a limit. I didn't check the current latest model, because a few years ago when I worked in the field, such models shit themselves beyond 20million people.
Just to say, using face detection only, like these pieces of shit are doing, will for sure make them detain people who have nothing to do with anything.
Unmask and dox these cowardly racist motherfuckers.
There is now a website doing exactly that:
Works by the skin color, I suppose, more dark greater the possibility of an terrorist or worse, a communist. To keep America clean and hetero WASP
I'm never setting foot in the US again. Thank goodness I'm Canadian.
Watch out for Bill C2. It requires companies to collect data on you (Canadian citizens) and shields them from "accidentally" oversharing it.
shields them from “accidentally” oversharing it
Could you please clarify? Is that referring to legal protection in the case of a consumer data breach? Because that'd be highly objectionable
Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that's a benefit :(
They're indentifying people to dissapear now? Sh*t, they weren't stopped in time and now this street-gang-with-nazi-ties is using technology to target the vulnerable. I told you they were practicing.
I'm sure this is completely accurate technology and isn't racist in any way. /S
Decline to use facial rec at airports due to this shit
They already have your face when you got your license @ your local DMV.
Decline? You think you have a choice?
You actually explicitly do have a choice
Just imagining this and laughing. "Actually gestapo, it's my right to not be disappeared against my will!"
I've done it. Recently. Walked up with my palm covering the camera so it didn't see me while I approached, stepped to the side of it once I could, said I opt out, and went through.
You idiot. I said in my post "decline at the airport" - meaning decline when the TSA asks to do it at airport security Not when ICE tries to take picture on a street
You think TSA (a part of DHS) and ICE (also a part of DHS) are somehow disconnected and not working hand in hand towards the same exact goal?
"Yes, you can opt out of TSA facial recognition"

You can opt out at the airport. That's a fact. Not sure how that relates to whatever you're saying but doesn't matter because whatever you are saying is not relevant to the conversation.
Bear in mind what AOC told us about the "Big Beautiful Bill". ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons combined. After they zip-tie you and throw you in the van they can light their Cuban cigars with $100 bills.
Considering that the US still does not have any kind of working national census, and only relies of the deeply flawed social security system for a national ID database, I wonder how accurate this system is
Considering they're just looking for a pretext to arrest someone, I think it's accurate enough for them.
They probably just use Facebook + LinkedIn or other public databases. I remember a project on hackaday of someone who did something similar and found with some basic programming, it's definitely possible to get some matches. But that was years ago.
I predict it being ubiquitous one day, where everyone has the ability to id others. It's already a thing in los Angeles. Also, I was just reading about how a person's gait can be used to identify someone, so wearing a mask won't be enough. Technology is just gonna get better.
Using facial id software on people while wearing a fucking mask. What happened, guys?! I thought you couldn't breathe under there!
I thought they didn't care about the identity and just kidnapped whoever they felt like. Do they really need this?
Wear Juggalo make up. Doubt they are using depth perception. Since that data would probably not be available.
time for every immigrant to change style, grow a beard/shave it, change hair cut. start using makeup.
question, would that work?

Upload a photo of an LAPD cop to identify them. It's not ICE or all jurisdictions, but it's a start.
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.
Edit: this was supposed to be a reply to @NoiseColor@lemmy.world but either my app broke or I'm half blind
Great, let's all fucking wear masks again -_-
It's your right until they ban it
Many red states have banned wearing masks at protests.
Already have some places.
Can't people identify these agents?
This is exactly why so many of them are masked.
I meant like forensically finding out who they are. It can be done and I bet there is a lot of people online who would pitch in.
Not legally.
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.

I shouldn't be shocked or surprised, and yet, I am. Fuck this.
remember when they demanded you take off your mask at the no kings protest?
