The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

    I’m never setting foot in the US again. Thank goodness I’m Canadian.

      It can happen to you, too. Stay vigilant.

      Watch out for Bill C2. It requires companies to collect data on you (Canadian citizens) and shields them from “accidentally” oversharing it.

        Yes, I’m aware. I’ve signed a petition against it.

    Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that’s a benefit :(

      It just means they get to disappear more minorities.
