Breaking News: Immigration Agents Deploy Cutting-Edge Tech to Track and Identify Individuals
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are now using advanced surveillance tools to identify and monitor individuals, according to sources. The technology includes apps that can scan faces and irises, as well as access to vast amounts of location-based data. These tools have been acquired by the Department of Homeland Security.
The new technology allows federal agents to point a cell phone at someone's face to potentially identify them and determine their immigration status in the field. Another tool can scan irises, while a software contract with a company that makes spyware that can hack into cell phones has been revived.
ICE is also ramping up its social media surveillance, with new AI-driven software contracts. This move raises concerns about the balance between national security and individual privacy.
The Department of Homeland Security has been acquiring these tools over the past year, with the latest developments coming to light in recent weeks. The exact extent of the technology's use and impact remains unclear.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
