This starts with this post on LinkedIn. Jim Brown is the president of a contracting consultancy. He says he is looking for former law enforcement and military personnel for an upcoming project. Doesn't mention ICE, but people briefed told us that's the plan www.404media.co/contractor-p...

“Feds United is seeking approximately 20 more retired experienced law enforcement officers or retired military personnel in the DC/Northern Virginia area to participate in a 90-day pilot project that is expected to kick off within the next few weeks,” he wrote.
“The project will assess whether contractors can validate addresses associated with subjects of interest. Participants will work on surveillance teams and this is an OBSERVE and REPORT only task,” Brown wrote. Nearly two dozen people replied to that post, with many of them expressing interest in the work.

App that Google is hosting on its Play Store is for agencies that are part of 287(g). Under that program, local officers can make immigration arrests during routine police enforcement and it “essentially turns police officers into ICE agents.” App will ID targets www.404media.co/google-has-c...

The CBP app, called Mobile Identify and launched last week, is for local and state law enforcement agencies that are part of an ICE program that grants them certain immigration-related powers. The 287(g) Task Force Model (TFM) program allows those local officers to make immigration arrests during routine police enforcement, and “essentially turns police officers into ICE agents,” according to the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). At the time of writing, ICE has TFM agreements with 596 agencies in 34 states, according to ICE’s website.
After a user scans someone’s face with Mobile Identify, the app tells users to contact ICE and provides a reference number, or to not detain the person depending on the result, a source with knowledge of the app previously told 404 Media. 404 Media also examined the app’s code and found multiple references to face scanning.

Some MIE functions require hardware support available in the new A19 processor.
