Sooooo….. What about? 

Pardons for the Biden family

Minutes before Trump swore his oath of office, the White House announced Biden’s preemptive pardons of his siblings and their spouses.

They include James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden.

Are you really arguing that the rioter pushing her , making her fall is irrelevant  ? It was still caused by the rioter pushing  her right?  If the push caused the fall, that meme is an accurate statement. Not a complete story, but also not inaccurately describing the situation.

 

 If You had headlines and memes with the complete story they would look like my posts. 

 

 Its a headline/meme its meant to grab attention not provide the entire story.  It just lacks some details but its not untrue. 

 

 It's honestly funny how You are trying to interpret that incident. Try and take a step back and ask Yourself if You would say the same thing about somebody  pushing an ICE agent down that resulted in and injury?

LOL good try must have me confused with somebody else unless I just wrote something in a way that You did not understand the way it was intended. 

 

I had said that shooting a moving car after it was already moving at me seemed like a bad idea.  And that moving out of the way first seemed like a better, safer idea. 

I never said that she was or wasn't trying to run anybody over. 

Because  my first thought was , that I wondered how much her being shot impacted how quickly the vehicle accelerated. And questioned if she was under control at all by that point. and when she lost control of the vehicle as a result of being shot.

Lost Global Entry? A New Federal Lawsuit Points to ICE Facial Recognition

January 31, 

Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are designed to flag risk at domestic airports and U.S. borders – not during political protests miles from the nearest checkpoint. But new court filings and reporting by The New York Times suggest trusted traveler status may now be intersecting with federal surveillance in unexpected ways.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using facial recognition technology to identify people during immigration enforcement operations and protests. And in at least one documented case, that encounter was followed just days later by the revocation of Global Entry and TSA PreCheck privileges – even though no arrest or criminal charge occurred.

The case, now part of a federal lawsuit, raises serious questions about how trusted traveler programs are being administered, and how easily the benefits that many frequent travelers rely on can disappear far from any airport or border crossing. 

The most detailed account comes from Nicole Cleland, a longtime Global Entry member whose sworn declaration – first highlighted by View from the Wing – is now part of a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.

The encounter took place amid heightened immigration enforcement activity in the Minneapolis area, where ICE agents were conducting operations that drew public attention and protests.

According to the court filing, Cleland was engaged in legal observation of ICE activity in her hometown of Richfield, Minnesota, when a Border Patrol agent stopped, approached her vehicle, and addressed her by name – despite the two never having met before.

Cleland says the agent told her he had used facial recognition to identify her and warned that she was “impeding” federal operations. He told her she could be arrested if it happened again, though Cleland was not detained, arrested, or charged with any offense. 

Three days later, she received an email from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) informing her that her Global Entry and TSA PreCheck privileges had been revoked. The notice did not provide a specific explanation, stating only that DHS cannot always disclose why a traveler’s status has changed.

Cleland had been a Global Entry member since 2014 without incident. In her declaration, she says the timing led her to believe the revocation was in retaliation for her observing ICE activity, and that the encounter caused her to stop participating in legal observation out of fear of further consequences.

 

ICE’s Expanding Use of Facial Recognition

Reporting by The New York Times detailed ICE’s use of facial recognition technology during immigration enforcement operations and protests, including activity in the Minneapolis area.

The technology at the center of the case is known as Mobile Fortify, a smartphone app used by ICE and Customs and Border Protection that allows agents to scan faces and collect “contactless” fingerprints, and then instantly retrieve biographical information from federal databases.

The Times confirmed that ICE agents have been using Mobile Fortify during immigration enforcement operations and protests, and verified photos and videos showing agents scanning people’s faces with smartphones and telling individuals they were being recorded using facial recognition technology, without consent.

According to current and former Department of Homeland Security officials cited by the Times, facial recognition is only one part of a broader surveillance toolkit that also includes license plate readers, social media monitoring, cellphone location data, drones, and data-analysis systems.

ICE has declined to provide details on how or when these tools are deployed, describing Mobile Fortify only as a lawful law enforcement tool used nationwide.

 

Why This Matters for Global Entry and TSA PreCheck

For frequent travelers, the issue isn’t just facial recognition alone; it’s how surveillance data can feed directly into Global Entry’s discretionary rules.

According to Customs and Border Protection’s official Global Entry FAQ, membership in the program is voluntary and subject to continuous vetting. CBP can revoke Global Entry or TSA PreCheck at any time if a traveler is deemed no longer eligible. A criminal conviction is not required, but being under investigation by any law enforcement agency can be grounds for termination from the program.

Walmart is FULL of cameras and has a history of working with law enforcement and has helped capture people that are wanted for crimes that have unrelated to the store.  

 . One time while checking out there was a question about an items price. The casher got on the phone and I could hear the person on the other end talking about how they could read the numbers on the barcode!  They could see the item clearer than we could.  I was so surprised that the person on the phone was able to see us so well at some random register that I happened to be at.  This happened a while ago too. Like 4 or more years ago.

The most detailed account comes from Nicole Cleland, a longtime Global Entry member whose sworn declaration – first highlighted by View from the Wing – is now part of a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.

The encounter took place amid heightened immigration enforcement activity in the Minneapolis area, where ICE agents were conducting operations that drew public attention and protests.

According to the court filing, Cleland was engaged in legal observation of ICE activity in her hometown of Richfield, Minnesota, when a Border Patrol agent stopped, approached her vehicle, and addressed her by name – despite the two never having met before.

Cleland says the agent told her he had used facial recognition to identify her and warned that she was “impeding” federal operations. He told her she could be arrested if it happened again, though Cleland was not detained, arrested, or charged with any offense. 

Three days later, she received an email from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) informing her that her Global Entry and TSA PreCheck privileges had been revoked. The notice did not provide a specific explanation, stating only that DHS cannot always disclose why a traveler’s status has changed.

Cleland had been a Global Entry member since 2014 without incident. In her declaration, she says the timing led her to believe the revocation was in retaliation for her observing ICE activity, and that the encounter caused her to stop participating in legal observation out of fear of further consequences.

 

ICE’s Expanding Use of Facial Recognition

Reporting by The New York Times detailed ICE’s use of facial recognition technology during immigration enforcement operations and protests, including activity in the Minneapolis area.

The technology at the center of the case is known as Mobile Fortify, a smartphone app used by ICE and Customs and Border Protection that allows agents to scan faces and collect “contactless” fingerprints, and then instantly retrieve biographical information from federal databases.

The Times confirmed that ICE agents have been using Mobile Fortify during immigration enforcement operations and protests, and verified photos and videos showing agents scanning people’s faces with smartphones and telling individuals they were being recorded using facial recognition technology, without consent.

According to current and former Department of Homeland Security officials cited by the Times, facial recognition is only one part of a broader surveillance toolkit that also includes license plate readers, social media monitoring, cellphone location data, drones, and data-analysis systems.

ICE has declined to provide details on how or when these tools are deployed, describing Mobile Fortify only as a lawful law enforcement tool used nationwide.

 

Why This Matters for Global Entry and TSA PreCheck

For frequent travelers, the issue isn’t just facial recognition alone; it’s how surveillance data can feed directly into Global Entry’s discretionary rules.

According to Customs and Border Protection’s official Global Entry FAQ, membership in the program is voluntary and subject to continuous vetting. CBP can revoke Global Entry or TSA PreCheck at any time if a traveler is deemed no longer eligible. A criminal conviction is not required, but being under investigation by any law enforcement agency can be grounds for termination from the program.

 

Whenever I see something that I think is messed up like I think this is. I try and check my bias and think of the opposite. 

 

What if  the Biden admin had done this to anybody that went to the Trump stop the steel protests?

 

I would say the same thing I am saying about this. That its a screwed up way of infringing on a person's right to protest. 

 

Its legal to film police , I have yet to have anybody point out some law that restricts people from filming ICE. If somebody is just filming from a distance while inside a parked vehicle, I do not see how this is obstructing ICE from doing whatever they are doing. Other than they may have to think twice about if they are doing it the way they  are supposed to be. Since there would be video of them.  They are masked and most do not wear a uniform, so identifying them from video would likely be difficult by even ICE themselves nevermind the general public. 

 

Trump has accused Democrats of many things, what next? Label them all as domestic terrorist and the DNC as a terra organization ?  Sounds pretty crazy and way out there right? So did many of the things that are happening right now  before they became an everyday thing! Do I think that would really happen? NO. But I  also did not think that a lot of what has happened would happen.

This fkn shit right here ^^^^^ is exactly why we can't go to Monster trucks for a 3rd year since 2023. Because of all the moron liberal "protests" every single year. And this year is much worse. Now they go around harassing and attacking innocent bystanders to bully and intimidate them to be on "their side" against ICE. These people need insane asylums NOW. They are literally doing all the fascist and Nazi things that they claim the republicans and ICE are doing...you can't make this stuff up.

Not insane asylums but work centers is where they'll probably end up. We're calling them immigration detention centers for now.

Be nice to them, they may be picking the crops you eat in a couple years, unless you commit some trivial crime that puts you right alongside them.

You should also be nice to them because they are actually fighting for other humans rights. Most here will just bow down and accept our fate.

So going against the rule of law is now considered "fighting for human rights"? You can't be serious. Fighting law enforcement that is LITERALLY arresting illegal aliens, criminal pedos, and child traffickers to get them off the streets is "fighting for human rights"? WTF planet are you on?

I filled out a single survey and started to get multiple fundraising emails everyday for 5 or 6 years. I stopped opening them after a while. I bet they are still coming but are in my Spam folder now.   

 

I've been asked for donations 1000's of times more by a billionaire than I have by all the people I've ever encountered begging for change .  It started to feel really messed up when they kept asking for donations the day after he won in 2016 or 17 whatever year it was. I thought "Wow a bit early to start raising money, shouldn't there be more focus on doing the job first?  or even getting sworn into office" .

A few years ago Mitch McConnell did a fundraiser where you got a roll of Christmas wrapping paper with his face on it with a relatively small donation. I sent a few of my liberal friends a roll. All of their info in the forms, my credit card info. They all still get emails and junk mail and I've never gotten anything. Tells you something about how they log donors as well. I'm sure all 3 that I sent wrapping paper to as a joke were counted as individual donor and my info probably never made it past their payment processor. 

If this is illegal in ways I'm unaware of then I totally made this up and it didn't really happen.

Were all those folks in the picture blocking you from your precious monster trucks fighting law enforcement? 

I'm on the same planet as you, though I got the nickname 'Spacebrain' from one of my friends in college who is no longer on this planet.

If we are getting rid of criminals, pedos, child traffickers, etc. you might not like who is running the country here very much.

Lost Global Entry? A New Federal Lawsuit Points to ICE Facial Recognition

January 31, 

Global Entry and TSA PreCheck are designed to flag risk at domestic airports and U.S. borders – not during political protests miles from the nearest checkpoint. But new court filings and reporting by The New York Times suggest trusted traveler status may now be intersecting with federal surveillance in unexpected ways.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using facial recognition technology to identify people during immigration enforcement operations and protests. And in at least one documented case, that encounter was followed just days later by the revocation of Global Entry and TSA PreCheck privileges – even though no arrest or criminal charge occurred.

The case, now part of a federal lawsuit, raises serious questions about how trusted traveler programs are being administered, and how easily the benefits that many frequent travelers rely on can disappear far from any airport or border crossing. 

The most detailed account comes from Nicole Cleland, a longtime Global Entry member whose sworn declaration – first highlighted by View from the Wing – is now part of a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.

Consolidating both responses. 

In regard to Walmart. That’s just what loss prevention has as of 4 years ago. Imagine DHS or, any other agency and, what they have access to today. 

Regarding the protests, don’t be an agitator. You can protest without being a criminal. Don’t give ICE a reason to approach you. If things go sideways and, property starts getting damaged or, law enforcement is getting assaulted then leave. By sticking around that person is guilty by association. They’re not going to waste their time wanting to hear a persons side of the story. They’ll use stingray, get everyone’s info through their cell phones and, if you are caught under that umbrella, well that person is fucked. 

I think people should have a right to protest. I do think this is a very slippery slope. However, people also have a responsibility, to ensure they’re not caught up in it knowing the extent of surveillance being used. They also have a responsibility to not be an agitator. Huge difference between peaceful protest and, fucking the city up or, harassing average citizens. 

I do see Antifa being named a domestic terrorist group in the near future.
