i know the sexy and fun thing to do is say you'll punch anyone you see wearing google glasses but even if it's more boring i'd rather people talk more broadly about how to set meaningful expectations of privacy e.g. japan's regulations requiring cell phones make a loud snap when taking a photo

GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'
U.S. law prohibits federal health care benefits for undocumented immigrants. Democrats want to return benefits for those with lawful presence, like DACA recipients and asylum-seekers.

This sounds illegal. You would need a judicial warrant and they certainly wouldn’t have had one for the US citizen. Who will hold them to account?

This is what happens when you have quotas and inherently believe certain people don’t ‘belong’. You don’t care people have to constantly have papers on them and prove themselves over and over-a second class of citizenry. No one is holding them accountable. No one is making them stop.
U.S. citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers who are carrying out President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
