ICE Out of Our Faces Act would ban ICE and CBP use of facial recognition
Summary
Senate Democrats introduced the ICE Out of Our Faces Act to ban ICE and CBP from using facial recognition and other biometric surveillance, with a prohibition on data use in court and a pathway for individuals to sue the government. The bill also requires deletion of past biometric data and extends to voice recognition; cosponsors include Wyden, Alsobrooks, and Sanders. The proposal signals ongoing scrutiny of biometrics in federal enforcement and debate over civil liberties versus security.
