Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

US Customs and Border Protection deployed Mobile Identify (listed as "287 TFM" on Google Play Store), a facial recognition app enabling 555 local law enforcement agencies across 34 states participating in Section 287(g) programs to identify immigration status by scanning faces, returning reference numbers requiring ICE contact rather than direct personal information, with captured photos stored for 15 years even for US citizens.
