""I am concerned that border patrol and other federal enforcement agencies now have my license plate and personal information, and that I may be detained or arrested again in the future," she wrote.

She said border patrol and federal enforcement agencies now have her license plate and personal information and that she may be detained or arrested again. She worried about actions against her or her family and instructed them to return inside if they see unfamiliar vehicles.

Federal agents used facial recognition from Clearview AI and a face‑scanning app called Mobile Fortify to verify citizenship and identify protesters. ICE also used cell‑site simulators and Palantir software to locate potential deportation targets. She felt angry and intimidated despite legal observer training.
