Recent developments reveal that U.S. immigration agents and local police departments are increasingly utilizing advanced facial recognition technology to identify and track individuals, particularly immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has provided local law enforcement with a facial recognition app, enhancing their surveillance capabilities. Critics argue that the use of such technology lacks sufficient oversight and poses significant privacy risks. Senators have raised alarms, demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) halt its reliance on these tools, especially given reports of no opt-out options for those scanned. As calls for regulation intensify, the potential dangers of indiscriminate facial scanning practices are coming under scrutiny.
