Woman protests ICE. 3 days later her pre check TSA is turned off. They are judge and jury
According to Ars Technica, the woman alleged in a federal court complaint that a Border Patrol agent “addressed me by my name and informed me that they had ‘facial recognition’ and that his body cam was recording.” He told her she was impeding their work and gave her a verbal warning.
But that wasn’t the end of it: She said that three days after the interaction, she was informed that her membership in the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry trusted traveler programs had been revoked. View From the Wing’s Gary Leff reports that ICE officers now use a smartphone app called “Mobile Fortify” that can “scan faces and capture contactless fingerprints, instantly pulling back names and biographical data.”
According to Leff, “That turns ‘trusted traveler’ into chilling of speech. DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] runs both the surveillance and the program, and being ‘under investigation’ can be enough to lose your [trusted traveler] status even if protesting itself cannot legally be a disqualifier.”
