ICE’s New Surveillance Nightmare EXPOSED

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the legal problems with ICE's use of facial recognition technology to stop, detain, and potentially deport people on the streets of Minneapolis. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause for a search or seizure—and no court has ever held that a facial recognition match alone is enough. Brian and Shant explain what probable cause actually means, why an algorithm guessing your face matches some database isn't the same as articulable facts, and how cities and police departments have already been sued for relying solely on this technology. They also raise deeper concerns: the mass collection and storage of protesters' faces, the potential for deep fakes to be used as justification, and the chilling effect on First Amendment rights. The hosts note the uncomfortable parallel to surveillance tactics in authoritarian regimes—and ask where all the small-government conservatives are while federal agents scan citizens' faces without consent or warrant.
