US immigration authorities are using a vast technological arsenal to identify not only undocumented immigrants but also American citizens protesting their presence in Minneapolis.

According to an investigation published by The New York Times, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have used facial recognition, social media monitoring and other digital tools to track protesters and civilian observers.

The case of Nicole Cleland, a 56-year-old volunteer from Richfield, has raised serious concerns. She said an ICE agent stopped her and called her by name, telling her that facial recognition technology was being used and that her body camera was on. Cleland said she had not given consent to the recording of her face and had not previously met the agent.

According to current and former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, ICE is using two facial recognition programs in Minnesota, including Clearview AI and Mobile Fortify. In addition, the agency is using tools to monitor phones and social media, as well as a database built by Palantir, which combines government and commercial data to track individuals' locations in real time.

These practices have drawn strong reactions from civil rights organizations. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against the DHS, calling the combined use of these technologies an unprecedented expansion of the government's surveillance powers. Meanwhile, the DHS has stated that it will not disclose details about the methods used, emphasizing that the technology is used lawfully for law enforcement purposes.

After the confrontation with the agent, Cleland received a notice that her Global Entry and TSA travel privileges had been revoked without explanation. She has now joined a lawsuit, demanding answers and transparency about the authorities' actions.
