This is scary:

On Wednesday, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson told 404 Media in a statement that ICE will prioritize the results of the app over birth certificates. “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien,” he said. “ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms

They got impossible quotas to fill

Why don't Democrats run on a privacy platform. Sure there's Senator Wyden, but other dems need to be on this. Pivot and make the Democratic party the privacy party.

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Stop wishing for the democrats to come and save you. They never will, we have to do it ourselves.

[-] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 days ago

They are complicit in all of this.

[-] Vupware@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Democrats will do nothing. Trump is right when he calls them “do-nothing democrats”. All they do is sit in their high castle and say “why can’t we all just get along?”.

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Democrats are not your friends, they work for the same people as maga/nazis.

We have a nazi problem. There is no app, or voting, or debating, or rationalizing that will get rid of it. The only way to rid yourself of cancer is to take the really painful medicine, and americans aren't ready to do that yet.

"Whatever you do, please don't vote, America is lost and nothing to be done about it, it's totally over, you cannot do anything, all parties are the same, please don't vote"

[-] atk007@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Because Democrats want it too.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

What open source technologies does it use? Someone could do a supply-side attack.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Something like #xxyyzz, where each of xx, yy and zz must be >= BB or something...

[-] eclipse@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Papers, please.

[-] rockettaco37@feddit.nu 5 points 6 days ago

And unless they can show me a warrant, I'll be wearing a mask.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

They will just beat the shit out of you and pull down your mask and do it regardless

[-] rockettaco37@feddit.nu 6 points 6 days ago

And this is exactly what the Second Amendment is designed for.

Don't tell the GOP that though

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Better dead than in a concentration camp. If they assault someone violently, it's more likely to turn heads (especially if they're a US citizen. For some reason.)

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

No argument from me

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Oh yes I can

Imagine Trump voters reading this EXACT headline during Biden's presidency. They would have lost their minds. They wouldn't take a vaccine because they thought there was a 5g chip in it, but this is ok?

[-] KelvarCherry 1 points 6 days ago

I think this says something more about the Left and Liberals in the USA :P

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
[-] KelvarCherry 1 points 6 days ago

I mean, moreso, that we're just taking it. Conservatives stormed stores with mask mandates and forcefully "bought" items while being refused service. In Canada, they had that whole Truck convoy. All of this, over conspiracy theories and inconveniences.

Meanwhile ICE is running mass "deportations" (to random countries the victims never belonged to) and people are... just letting it happen??

[-] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 88 points 1 week ago

I was raised by republicans so I can provide some insight. Its because they would have to admit they were wrong about Trump. You can either admit you were wrong and declare him a tyrant or you can back him on everything. You can guess which most of them choose.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

It’s OK because it’s racist. They love that shit.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

These are the same asshats that are just fine with Taco invading blue cities and threatening more. Including the use of Marines, FFS. And he's threatening a lot more. They are still with him.

But they had a collective freakout over Jade Helm.

4th Amendment, fare thee well... Nice to have known you.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Everyone knows this random DHS document supercedes the constitution. All the best people are saying it

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

UNCONSTITUTIONAL: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

[-] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Yeah I’m really glad DHS doesn’t get to arbitrarily override the constitution

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

That’s ok, they’ll just get their pals at the Supreme Court to make a ruling in their favor.

Y’all acting like the rule of law still applies. Smdh

[-] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah… well you prob not wrong there sadly.

[-] bagsy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Who is going to stop them? Nazi's dont ask permission.

Mods, please make supplying archive links a rule.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

Oh so this document is the one with the real laws. All the other documents that say they can't do the things they are doing are invalid but we better respect this one! Or else
