FBI and ICE are building a nationwide facial recognition database based off DMV photos.

The best bit is that this is going on in states which allow undocumented people to get licenses from the DMV.

Wow, this is terrible. I live in a state that doesn’t give undocumented people licenses and I know people who’ve become stranded once they can no longer drive. People should be able to get licenses without fear of retribution! Good news that at least states can put up more barriers, or stop using the technology altogether.
