Isn't it about time @EUCommission is making a joined statement about the current #ICE situation in the #US of A?
#Trump is offending every single leader in the room and they all seem to take it with a grim smile
We choose you to speak for us! You are our voice so use it!
How hard and often do we need to yell before something comes out.. The time of being passive has passed, get a little more spine please
And YES we have the right to tell them what they are doing, otherwise what is the point.
#Surveillance and #ICE Are Driving #Patients Away From Medical Care, Report Warns
A new EPIC report says data brokers, ad-tech surveillance, and ICE enforcement are among the factors leading to a “health #privacy crisis” that is eroding trust and deterring people from seeking care.
ICE's facial recognition app Mobile Fortify misidentified the same woman twice during a raid: returning two different, wrong names.

ICE’s #FacialRecognition App Misidentified a Woman. Twice
When authorities used #ICE facial recognition app on a detained woman in an attempt to learn her #identity and #immigration status, it returned two different and incorrect names, raising serious questions about the accuracy of the app ICE is using to determine who should be removed from the United States, according to testimony from a #Customs and #Border Protection ( #CBP ) official

New legislation would sharply limit ICE's facial recognition app, Mobile Fortify.

My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border #police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated. #gettyreportage #getty at the #Whipple Federal building in #Minneapolis.”

He later posted this image of his camera sitting on top of what appears to be a court date notice. The caption is very cryptic, but from the picture I infer his camera survived & he was in fact arrested. No word on whether he had any injuries, though at a minimum I’d expect bruises. An absolutely #unconstitutional #arrest.

Yes, it's an embarrassment that the current administration hung out a sign with "cosplay as law enforcement while you abuse and kill your neighbours", but we can't ignore that a hell of a lot of people lined up in front of that like it was a new iPhone launch.
We need to tap into that crowd, understand, and demilitarize/dereactionarize them. It's an ongoing liabiity, since even if #ICE unwinds, the next Chud Charmer will just whip them up into a slightly different shape of horror..

Santa Cruz has terminated its contract with Flock Safety over privacy and data-sharing abuses.
City officials cited reports that local license-plate data was accessed by out-of-state agencies, including ICE, despite California limits.
‘ELITE’: The #Palantir App #ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid
Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential #deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be. Tool receives peoples’ addresses from Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS) among other sources

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

I use the Minneapolis ICE murder to emphasise a critique of the legal system more generally.
Motive and intent are not facts in the manner of cars, guns, and deaths.

We’ve always known the ultimate goal was to subject everyone to biometric collections, whether it’s at border crossings or international airports. At some point, the tech will move inland and become an annoying part of traveling from Point A to B because national security or whatever the fuck. The acceleration was a bit more limited […]
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has a new budget under the current administration, and they are going on a surveillance tech shopping spree. Standing at $28.7 billion dollars for the year 2025 (nearly triple their 2024 budget) and at least another $56.25 billion over the next three years, ICE’s budget would be the envy of many […]

Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' #ICE leak to unmask agents
‚A whistleblower has released the identities of approximately 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents, marking what may be the largest data breach in the Department of Homeland Security's history. The leak, published on ICE List, was triggered by national outrage following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent….‘
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!
Jeeeze, ICE continues to do everything in their power to inflame the situation to the highest degree.
Posting white supremacist song references just fash all the way down over there.
Making good on JD Vance's threats, ICE is now going door to door.
Of course they don't have warrants, or ANY legal reason to be busting down these doors.
Why would they need that?
The paper the federal cops presented was NOT signed by a judge and so it was not in any way legal for them to bust down this door with armed men.
This was a flagrant violation of the US Constition.
New video making the rounds today from Minnesota depicts an ICE agent falling on ice then entering a porta potty with a female kidnapping victim.
Only problem is they are already struggling to get more agents to op-in to this braindead mission now that they all know they will 100% be seen as murderers.
So now there's ICE cops turned leakers spelling this all out. The leakers say they are scared, afraid for their safety and affraid to follow the first wave of dumbasses who deployed to Minneapolis.
