    An ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien

    Cool, so I guess that means I can ignore evidence of the person/people at the door being law enforcement before enforcing my 2nd Amendment rights and state self-defense laws that also allow me to shoot to protect others.

      Yeah you can, but you’ll probably get killed. If you’re willing to do that though, then at least make it worthwhile

    Um, Americans also realize they’re ABDUCTING people without their consent too, right? And have been, for like months now?

      Most of us are well aware of that. I live in a neighborhood with a pretty high Hispanic population. ICE was reported just a few blocks from my house on Thursday, zero trick-or-treaters on Friday. There are still a discouraging about of people saying they support Trump and what he’s doing on Nextdoor. I want to believe they’re bots.

      What is the point of comments like this? Yes, we realize this. Are you just hearing about it? Do we really have to face each new horror with admonishments that it is distracting us from the last horror?

      And flu and cold season. Consider wearing gloves to keep your hands safe from diseases as well. Consider tinted glasses as well to keep the sun out of your eyes, and a hat or hoodie to protect from rain or snow.

      Just basic health things, completely unrelated to cameras or anything.

      There’s always been facial rec. In the old days, they recognized that “He looks black, that can’t be his car.”

    So hypothetically, what if a bunch of protestors showed up with IC E shirts/pants/etc… without license plates and started to protest? How would they know who was who at that point?

    It doesn’t even look that hard to do given how much memorabilia there is online.
