New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
