Outstanding breakdown of the week's border policy shifts. The biometric data collection mandate starting Dec 26 is kinda interesting because it basically turns every port of entry into a permanent surveillence checkpoint. I worked with airport security systems in the past and that scale of facial recognition infrastructure usually creates way more false positives than people realize, especially when rushed processign is the norm. The question isnt just about security but whether this level of tracking becomes normalized for citizens too down the line.
Thanks for reading US Border News & for taking the time to comment. Your experiences with and thoughts about biometric data collection are enlightening.
LOL. Of course the members Congress can inspect Federal government facilities. The problem was always lack of respect on their part. The agent involved in one of the incidents said it clearly. Make an appointment and come to the front door like everyone who doesn't work here has to. You won't get into my workplace by behaving like an a**hole either!

The problem is that members of Congress are legally allowed to have unannounced visitation rights (see ICE policies below):

Interesting. Doesn't excuse the behavior that got them shut out though.
