#Google Is Helping the #Trump Administration Deploy #AI Along the #MexicanBorder

Google is part of a Customs and Border Protection plan to use machine learning for #surveillance, documents reviewed by The Intercept reveal.

by Sam Biddle, April 3 2025

Excerpt: "#IBM will provide its Maximo Visual Inspection software, a tool the company generally markets for industrial quality control inspections — not tracking humans. #Equitus is offering its #VideoSentinel, a more traditional video surveillance analytics program explicitly marketed for border surveillance that, according to a promotional YouTube video, recently taken offline, featuring a company executive, can detect 'people walking caravan style … some of them are carrying backpacks and being identified as mules.'

"'Within 60 days from the start of the project, real life video from the southern border is available to train and create #AI / #ML models to be used by the Equitus Video Sentinel.'"

“They do indeed cling to the stunning proposition that they can forcibly remove any person — migrant and U.S. citizen alike —to prisons outside the United States, and then baldly assert they have no way to effectuate return because they are no longer the ‘custodian,’ and the Court thus lacks jurisdiction,” Xinis wrote. “As a practical matter, the facts say otherwise.”

The U.S. government’s decision to arrest a Maryland man and send him to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador appears to be “wholly lawless,” a federal judge wrote Sunday in a legal opinion explaining why she had ordered the Trump administration to bring him back to the United States.

"These types of arrests—known as “collateral detention”—are becoming more common. “What we have been seeing is #ICE at random detaining people who are not the people they’re looking for,” Murad Awawdeh, president & CEO of the #NewYork Immigration Coalition [said]. “They go in allegedly looking for someone else & then they’ll take whoever they can find just so they can meet their quota numbers that #DonaldTrump has put in place.”"

" #HandsOff a #protest in the tiny town of Sackets Harbor, NY...

A worker on a local dairy farm who had no criminal record and was awaiting legal #immigration proceedings was disappeared late last month by #ICE along with her 3 children... whisked away to #Texas. And around 1,000 people came together this weekend to rally for their safe return and to send a message that this won’t be tolerated there—or anywhere."

Text and photos from article. Text: As people across the country assembled Saturday to tell the Trump regime to keep their “Hands off!”, a protest in the tiny town of Sackets Harbor, NY caught my eye. While this one was certainly related to the larger theme of the day, the impetus was much more specific: A worker on a local dairy farm who had no criminal record and was awaiting legal immigration proceedings was disappeared late last month by ICE along with her three children. Agents were executing a search warrant for an unrelated suspected criminal who lived on the same block, and somehow the family was swept up and whisked away to Texas. And around 1,000 people came together this weekend to rally for their safe return and to send a message that this won’t be tolerated there—or anywhere. “There was the concern in our little small town that if we speak out too loudly, there might be hateful voices from far away,” Cook tells The Handbasket. She wonders: “Are we gonna become the center of something that becomes really ugly?” But ultimately she and her staff decided anything less than loud and unwavering support was unacceptable. And as a result, the rest of the country has taken notice.

"Principal Jaime Cook describes one of the 3rd graders in her northern #NewYork school... this particular student loves to sing & loves to dance. But last week this #child was handcuffed & taken by #US Immigration & Customs Enforcement ( #ICE), along with other family members—2 of whom are high school-aged kids. While they all remain jailed in #Texas, classmates leave cards on the student’s desk & hang a welcome home banner they hope will be seen."

William Lindsey :toad:

"[The abduction of Rümeysa Öztürk] was not 'law enforcement.' It was a political kidnapping, an act of state terror. It mirrored, in form and intent, the very tactics the Gestapo used to silence dissent, disappear the 'undesirables,' and spread fear through calculated, extrajudicial violence in Nazi Germany."

~ Henry Giroux

A little over 50 protesters with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles and community members rally to denounce the Trump administration's recent attacks on free speech and immigrant rights including the arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk, at Placita Olverain in downtown Los Angeles, on April 1, 2025.

Ich frage die #bahn #bahnBubble und #linux Bubble nach neuen Erkenntnissen: Mein nettes kleines Reise-Notebook (Manjaro Linux), auf dem auch #docker wegen #paperless_ngx läuft, bekommt im #ice kein WLAN. Ich hatte vor 1/2 Jahr komplett Docker deaktiviert, das hat aber auch nichts genützt.

Man findet dazu auch Threads im Internet - hatte irgend ein Linux-Nutzer in letzter Zeit WLAN-Probleme im ICE und konnte diese lösen?
