"Federal Agencies Expand ICE Surveillance with Local Police Partnership: New Documents Reveal Plan to Share Facial Recognition Tech.

As the use of facial recognition technology continues to spark debate over its potential for abuse and misidentification, critics warn that this partnership could further erode trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities."
