ICE, CBP Knew Facial Recognition App Couldn’t Do What DHS Says It Could, Deployed It Anyway

✨ Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: from the fuck-everyone-but-us-policy-still-in-play dept The DHS and its components want to find non-white people to deport by any means necessary.
