#ICE and CBP’s #FaceRecognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are

ICE has used #MobileFortify to identify #immigrants and #citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after #DHS abandoned its own #privacy rules.

🔴 👁 - „Videos in sozialen Medien zeigen, wie Bundesbeamte ihre Smartphones nutzen, um Menschen auf der Straße zu kontrollieren, darunter augenscheinlich auch Minderjährige. Wehren kann man sich gegen die biometrische Kontrolle nicht. … Die ICE-Männer selbst versuchen sich vor solchen Techniken zu schützen, indem sie bei ihren Einsätzen ihre Gesichter vermummen.“

How #ICE Already Knows Who #Minneapolis #Protesters Are
ICE uses two #facialrecognition programs one made #tech company #ClearviewAI and #MobileFortify. ICE is also using #cellphone and #socialmedia tools to monitor people’s activity and hack into phones. Agents are tapping into database, built by #Palantir, combines government and commercial data to identify real-time locations for individuals they are pursuing, current and former officials said.

ICE's facial recognition app Mobile Fortify misidentified the same woman twice during a raid: returning two different, wrong names.

New #Legislation Would Rein In ICE’s #FacialRecognition App

A group of 6 #Democratic lawmakers is proposing legislation that would dramatically rein in #Immigration & #Customs Enforcement’s ( #ICE ) facial recognition app, according to a copy of the draft bill. #ICE & Customs & #Border Protection (CBP) have been scanning peoples’ faces with #MobileFortify , using it to verify their #citizenship & claiming that a result should be trusted over a #birthCertificate

One especially ridiculous case, ICE agents abducted a US citizen walking home from the gym.

The agents put a citizen into handcuffs and dragged him into an unmarked car that had no license plates at all!

Once in the car they scanned his face using the DHS app MobileFortify.

The feds insist that they should be able to keep biometric scans of citizens obtained forcefully in roving raids like this one.

The document shows a shift at ICE towards lawless roving patrols.

There's obviously no requirement for American citizens to carry proof of citizenship at all times.

But not only is ICE demanding proof of citizenship while pointing guns at people they are also demanding biometric scans of faces and even fingerprints without a warrant or even probable cause!

@KimPerales not to mention that #ICE aka. #AmericanGestapo knowingly and purposefully deport #US #citizens and refuse to even consider any #evidence of #citizenship beyond "#MobileFortify" aka. their #Palantir-powered #FacialRecognition - #App!!!

Personally I wish for the deported to successfully sue the #USA for having to issue them a "Certificate of Loss of Nationality" cuz if they #denaturalize US-born citizens then it seems only fair the US government doesn"t get to collext #taxes on their #income either!

#Rights Organizations Demand Halt to #MobileFortify , ICE's Handheld #FaceRecognition Program

As if this dangerous use of nonconsensual face recognition isn't bad enough, Mobile Fortify also queries a wide variety of government databases. Already there have been reports that federal officers may be using this #FRT to target protesters engaging in #FirstAmendment -protected activities.

Absurd!

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) does not let people decline to be scanned by its new facial recognition app, which the agency uses to verify a person’s identity and their immigration status, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document obtained by 404 Media. The document also says any face photos taken by the app, called Mobile Fortify, will be stored for 15 years, including those of U.S. citizens."
