    When an officer scans someone’s face, the app will run their face against a database of more than 250 million DHS and State Department records, and then provide instructions to the officer. Either “not detain or arrest under ICE jurisdiction,” or the app will provide a reference code the officer can use to get additional information from ICE.

    Oh hey, I think I know the algorithm they use

    The Peter Griffin in a fez meme, of course

    All kidding aside, the worst part of all this is that we all know there are false positives, but we also know how these ICE goons (and their LEO friends) operate. They will take the word of the app as gospel, and if someone falsely tagged by the app says they are wrong and produces their valid ID, the goons will confiscate it, saying the app can’t be wrong and the ID must be fake.

      250 million records

      340 million Americans

      How much you wanna bet if you don’t show up in the database, you get sent to the camps?
