He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

    AFAIK there is no database of citizenship faces

    Well I mean, I do have a Certificate of Citizenship from N-600 that has a photo of me on it. USCIS probably has it in their system.

    But that photo was when I was like 13 or something, idk how they would even match that face. I have a photo ID (not “Real ID” compliant tho) that does have a recent photo, so do they looked that up? Do they even have access to DMV records?

    Or is it gonna be:

    ?

      Better check your papers are still legit, they have no problems throwing people out even on a minor technicality.
      Or even better find somewhere else that isn’t as much driven by hatred and sociopathy.

        Too late, my entire family is in the US, we have strong ties here.

        My paternal grandfather, 3 aunts, cousins, friends of my mother, the entire 关系 (Guanxi) relationship network, its all here. PRC is just hopeless which is why we left in the first place. We have no relatives in Canada or Europe or Australia, so this is why we are all here. I no longer have PRC Citizenship either way since they automatically revoked it after gaining US citizenship, on top of that I criticized the CCP too much, the bridge is already burned. Literally all my family assets are in the US…

        “Just move lol” is not a realistic solution for most people. I mean, its almost impossible to find a democratic country that will accept us.
