Identify you when though? Important question I guess

The US has been using ICE a lot.

Guess who is doing the identifying - CBP and ICE. Guess who runs borders and immigration, which is the use case for PreCheck and Global Entry?

Guess what the stated jurisdictional limits are for CBP? 100 miles from any possible border [https://legalclarity.org/immigration-map-of-us-jurisdictiona...].

Guess who has essentially unlimited jurisdictional limits? ICE.

So they can pretend they are ‘checking for immigration status’ using the existing photos and biometrics, while simultaneously gathering information on who is at what protest.

Then the info gets shared once gathered - with or without plausible deniability - and blam. Bobs your uncle.

    To quote a prominent US historian:

      In a constitutional regime, such as ours, the law applies everywhere and at all times. In a republic, such as ours, it applies to everyone. For that logic of law to be undone, the aspiring tyrant looks for openings, for cracks to pry open.
    
      One of these is the border. The country stops at the border. And so the law stops at the border. And so for the tyrant an obvious move is to extend the border so that is everywhere, to turn the whole country as a border area, where no rules apply.
    
      Stalin did this with border zones and deportations in the 1930s that preceded the Great Terror. Hitler did it with immigration raids in 1938 that targeted undocumented Jews and forced them across the border.

    Not ICE?

    > Guess who has essentially unlimited jurisdictional limits? ICE.

    ICE thinks that. The courts are disagreeing.

    • First question - CBP, as noted.

      Unlimited jurisdictional limits - and the courts will enforce this with whose army? As it were.

      ICE isn’t allowed to act on citizens either, and yet here we are.
