[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there really no better way to find illegal immigrants than on foot? In  a day and age where practically everyone has a digital footprint, smartphone, state ID, how is this possible?

You cannot determine citizenship, green card, or illegal status just by looking at someone.[/quote]

The problem is the 3000 per day quota that Stephen Miller has imposed. It takes longer to do a systematic search for migrants they can "capture" than to drive around and stop brown and Black people.

But, to answer your question about technology, ICE has more surveillance technology it can use than any time before in human history. This is just a sample:

*Mobile Biometrics and Facial Recognition: Agents use mobile apps like Mobile Fortify to scan faces or irises in the field. These tools match images against federal databases, returning details such as visa overstay status or "Alien Numbers".

*Location Tracking and Geofencing: ICE purchases bulk location data from commercial brokers using software like Babel Street’s Locate X. This allows the agency to track cell phones as they move through specific areas without requiring a warrant.

*Social Media Monitoring: The agency employs AI-driven platforms like ShadowDragon’s SocialNet and Zignal Labs to scrape public posts across 13+ platforms, including TikTok and Facebook. These tools create detailed dossiers on migrants’ locations, relationships, and "threat levels".

*Phone Forensic and Spyware: ICE uses Cellebrite and Magnet Forensics devices to extract data from seized phones. Additionally, the agency has revived contracts for Paragon’s Graphite spyware, which can reportedly infiltrate encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal just by sending a message to a target number.

*Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR): ICE accesses vast networks of cameras—including over 80,000 cameras from Flock Safety—to monitor vehicle movements nationwide. [/quote]
