I remember watching it thinking "in an ideal world, this film would pivot in X direction but it would never have the guts", when in fact that is exactly what it did with more courage, emotional intelligence and aplomb than I could ever have hoped for.

                                            Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement βMobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.β He also said βICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a βdefinitiveβ determination of a personβs status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenshipβincluding a birth certificateβif the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americansβ rights and freedoms.β
                                                
    
    
    
    
            New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Just a total tragic disconnect.

            Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
