The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

    Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

    I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…

      They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.
