Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service"
This has 2 parts:
1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data
2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Remember videos of people in camps protesting and rioting? Even if Bovino is out, even if somehow Noem and Miller are forced to resign (still a longshot) people are still being brutalized. It's not about a few figureheads. It's about the wider system.
DHS is still disappearing people nationwide and it is not stopping because of fall boy Bovino reportedly being flicked aside. Camps are still being filled for profit.
Again it's good Bovino got pulled back. It's good there might be even a temporary drawdown in Minneapolis. But DHS is surging in Maine. It is grabbing people around Los Angeles. They aren't stopping. Maybe they're scared but they aren't stopping. The American Dirty War continues.
