ICE is using facial recognition tech on US citizens without their consent, according to DHS documents obtained by 404 Media. Despite such software's unreliability, agents may ignore a citizen's birth certificate if the app says they're in the US illegally.
First contact to detainment/arrest is sufficient, and police body cam footage is plenty.
And unfortunately, police can legally detain you up to 48 hours without charging you. There are rules around this, but generally speaking, police have 24 hours to prove they had probable cause and turn the detention into an arrest, otherwise they must release you.
So if police have probable cause to detain or arrest some people in a protest, they can detain far more until they can review footage to complete their investigation before deciding whether to arrest or release individuals.
I’m mostly looking for a smoking gun here. We know ICE has incorrectly arrested citizens and legal immigrants, I want to know if they have broken the law in other ways too. Arresting the wrong person is one thing, denying due process is another thing entirely.
