The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

I'm sure this is completely accurate technology and isn't racist in any way. /S

I'm sure they don't know that and they totally didn't pick this inaccurate method on purpose too /s

It recognizes any race?

Well, maybe not the Indy 500, but probably would flag the Gran Prix since that's not 'MURICAN!

We actually have 3 grands prix in the US now haha

Than why is it called racism

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Because ICE knows that Trump ain't gonna be alive for a whole lot longer, so they're trying to beat the clock in their quest to remove everyone who isn't a White Christian Evangelical from the country. It's a race against time, ergo it's racism.

Dunno how many migrants are white christians? Like if color gives any reason to halt someone over another its wrong, but I don't think there are millions of icelandic people in USA? Statistically it makes no sense.

I'm not American btw

Yeah, the fact you're apparently not getting my jokes kinda makes that obvious - neither of my prior responses to you were meant to be taken seriously.

Some more accurately than others.
