Not much is known about ICE's Mobile Fortify app outside of what's been discovered and reported by 404 Media, which first broke the story of the app's existence, and that's concerning to the Senators.

According to reports, which first surfaced in June, the app has access to more than 200 million images and is able to return data including a person's name, birthdate, nationality, and any dealings with the US immigration system if they aren't a US citizen. The app reportedly also has the ability to capture a fingerprint from a photograph, which can then be run against DHS and Department of State records. Queries can also be performed to connect an identified individual to other people, vehicles, addresses, phone numbers, and firearm ownership, among other data points.

More concerning is how they got that database.

It's probably fine. Don't worry about it.

"Cry foul" is such good word choice because Democrats act like it's a fucking game.

Oh great, another dystopian technology to worry about.

You're not supposed to.

Loool, you're still asleep, USA... But you can go back to sleep now, because it's too late for democracy or civil war... Welcome to your future. I hope you get a good night's sleep before you wake up in a bucket of shit.

cry wolf* you piece of drone debris.

Every quadrennial you had the full Senate, Congress, and Judicial you eroded your 4 amendment and 5th one time and time again. Now when the drone strikes are pointed at you, you see the evil you let your executioners commit.

Please, cry wolf, you protected them every single time.

Lol how loud should you laugh? The citizens of America and europe etc have said what will happen... the last warnings for the final time of a civil war was in May and now fuck you. It's the citizens fault that instead of an uprising against an emerging dictatorship they prefer to make pointless peaceful protests and come up with flowers vs guns.... It's their own fault.

Most 🇺🇲 civilians are illiterate fucks. I cannot blame the ignorant.

I blame the literates that choose to oppress the ignorant time and time again. 🇺🇲 Democrats & Republicans did everything in their consciousness to drive the 🇺🇲 to fascism. They duped the ignorant, those who refused to read history, those that can't read, and those who they deceived.

I cannot shed tears for the culprits. So fuck both literate Parties. But the ignorant need to cease conforming, now.
