So that whole not using facial recognition and deleting the data after use wasn't real. How shocking. You wonder why the NRA has such a strong lobby against gun registration. It's for the same reasons. Political abuse of exercising of rights. By the time this makes it through the courts people will have forgotten.

    You submit permanent biometrics as part of PreCheck and Global Entry. DHS is presumably using those data for identification.

      Is DHS’s usage against the stated purpose of the biometrics collection? Was there even a stated purpose?

        The stated purpose for biometrics and photos with PreCheck and Global Entry is to identify you, so it’s not likely against its stated purpose to use it for identification, per-se. Now using it to target protesters? Meh.

        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-jurisdictional-boundaries/ 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.
