We've long warned about the dangers of facial recognition technology, and this is the embodiment of those warnings. Using this app on the street to determine people's citizenship is invasive and unconstitutional, and it must stop.
Congress Pushes DHS for Details on ICE's New Facial Recognition App
404 Media first revealed ICE's new app, called Mobile Fortify, in June. Now members of a congressional committee are pressing DHS for more information, including ICE's legal basis for using the app inside the U.S.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...
