DHS expanded its SAVE system to flag noncitizen voters but in Texas and Missouri, many flagged voters were misidentified, causing confusion, removals and investigations, despite scant evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.

SAVE tool keeps mistakenly flagging voters as noncitizens - The Texas Tribune
DHS rolled out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

Just heard about another data center that is "land shopping" in our area and just want to cry. We won't be able to escape them, the state doesn't care - very hard to remain hopeful and focused on trying to stop them or at least regulate them.

The Pentagon has long been developing anti-drone weapons meant for use in war zones where they can control air traffic. But the DoD hasn’t yet figured out how to safely deploy them within crowded civilian skies. That didn’t stop them loaning some out to CBP to shoot off over Texas.
