Errors or otherwise, I don't approve of something so invasive, like facial recognition; especially not in the hands of entities I completely distrust.

But yes, on top of all that. It is a flawed technology.

Invasive tools demand the highest standard of accuracy and oversight. When both trust and reliability are in question, skepticism isn’t unreasonable.

Agreed. All it would take is one of those to make skepticism reasonable and have the program halted. The problem is that there's so little oversight and regulation when it comes to just about anything tech.

💯 And once a system like that is in place, it’s rarely rolled back — even if flaws are exposed. Without clear limits and real accountability mechanisms from the start, the burden ends up on the public to prove harm after the fact.

Since ICE, DOJ, DHS are already far out of bounds related to the Bill of Rights this is a minor point but at the same time an important one. The system is a for profit system so "mistakes" increase profits. The more the better. It also increases profits for the judicial system. Since there is no accountability the only looser is the American citizen.

This is the result of living in a fascist state.

Reagan believed that the government should be run like a business and privatization would achieve that. When corporations run the government that is one of the very definitions of fascism. The others are belligerent nationalism (Greenland, Venezuela, Iran etc), and a nationalistic religion (MAGA).

The immigration "crisis" is not intended for just immigrants, it's intended for all who are dissenters to the state. The enforcement is following Nazi Germanys ethnic cleansing policies with advanced surveillance technology.

Project 2025 began with the Reagan administration. It's aim is for a fascist government of corporations and total control of citizens. We are in the end game of the plan started 2 generations ago.

Thanks for a great post!

You’re naming exactly what happens when invasive tech gets power without oversight. ICE and DHS are already using facial-recognition and biometric tools despite known accuracy and bias problems, and privacy advocates call that a dangerous erosion of civil liberties. Systems built without accountability inevitably expand enforcement reach, not protect citizens.
