US customs and borders’ protection aims to take a car out of the United States by car
US customs and borders are planning to take a photo of each traveler’s border crossings and to match their faces with passports, visas or travel documents, to bring anyone out of the vehicle.
Intensified documentation of passengers can be used to track a large number of people or voluntarily leave the United States, that the Trump administration is illegally encouraging to the people of the country.
CBP exclusively in response to the agency’s question, Wired tells Wired that it intends to mirror the current program that is developing – photography with anyone who enters the United States and match their faces with their travel documents – to overseas lines to Canada and Mexico. The agency currently does not have a system to monitor people with the vehicle.
“Although we are still working on how to deal with offshore vehicles, we will eventually expand to the area,” Jessica Turner told Wired.
The Turner failed to provide a timeline on the starting time of CBP to monitor people who leave the country by vehicle.
He tells Wired that CBP is currently corresponding to photos of people coming to the country with “all documentary photos, passports, visas, green cards, etc.” and adds: “All” foreign/non -American citizens with photos taken at the border crossing “are stored by CBP. The Turner says, “Impact photos can be used for subsequent passages to verify identity.” He did not specify whether the CBP may integrate additional photos or data sources in the future.
Turner says it is not obvious that the purpose of the overseas face matching system is tracking its follow -up. “Not to say that this will not happen in the future, though, in a way that is self -test,” says Turner. He later adds that the purpose of the overseas system will be to “confirm biometric departure from the United States”. This is different for the purpose of tracking the people entering the United States, which also considers the “goal and purpose” of entering the country.
Wired this week reported that CBP has recently called on technology companies to ensure that anyone who enters the country through the vehicle, including two or three rows, is immediately photographed and aligned with their travel documents. CBP has tried to do this alone. The results of the 152 -day test, which occurred at the Anzaldos border crossing between Mexico and Texas, showed that these cameras were capturing photos of all in the car that meet only 61 percent of the “validation requirements”.
Currently, neither CBP nor Customs Migration and Customs Implementation have no known tools for tracking, apart from an ICE program that allows people to tell the agency when leaving the country.
Last month, ICE announced that it is paying $ 30 million to build a Palantir software company to make a “close -time vision” agency and, with the justification of the contract released a few days later, with the aim of having the exact number of people.
