NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.
ICE and CBP’s Face-Recognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are
ICE has used Mobile Fortify 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 r...

Must watch: since the release of the 3 millions of Epstein Files the silence around them is deafening. We need to fill the void, make sure those who committed crimes are held accountable for them. We owe the survivors reparation for their suffering.

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

Someone was breaking down the $50k ICE signing bonus and it looks like another dirty Trump trick.
$50k over 5 years, 5 years mandatory minimum service. It's taxed ahead of time at 22% and must be repaid if for any reason their term ends early.
You KNOW he hates paying employees

The fatal shooting of Pretti was not the first time that federal immigration officers have killed civilians under the Trump administration, and it wasn’t the first time that officials spread misleading accounts about the shooting victim.
How ICE and Border Patrol Keep Injuring and Killing People
After shooting people, federal agents repeatedly failed to provide first aid, and officials spun narratives disproven by video.

Fox correspondent Bill Melugin’s stark acknowledgement that "videos appear to show [Pretti] never drew his holstered firearm" was whiplash-inducing for anyone who had been following Fox’s on-air coverage of the killing -- and it marked a major shift.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, seven House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

And ICE told agents not to distribute these instructions, but to verbally pass them along.
