"As part of its surveillance dragnet, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been using an AI-powered Palantir system since last spring to summarize tips sent to its tip line, according to a newly released Homeland Security document. DHS immigration agents have also been using the now notorious face recognition app Mobile Fortify to scan the faces of countless people in the US-including many citizens."
