While it's theoretically possible that this technology could work effectively, given the people involved, this project is probably a complete bamboozle that will divert funds away from enforcing the deportation of immigrants. In that light, it's probably a good thing.

It isn't, all that money they're asking for is a grift, you don't need tens of billions of dollars for ethnic cleansing, poorer countries and their dictators manage with much less. It makes ethnic cleansing a more profitable endeavor for these scum, and that money will go a long way for protecting them against the sheepish democrats that will use lawyers judges to go after them.

How is anyone reading this article? I hit a paywall and didn't see how to read the whole thing.

You could pay. 404 does stirling work.

but then my bank and everyone watching my payment activity (yes, it is monitored and sold, and resold many times over) will know. Can I use crypto payment? Can I purchase crypto without all the legal hassle? can I pay in cash for some credit or token i can spend online anonymously? Nah..that'd make too much sense. With news paper all I needed was a few cents to purchase one, until the payment hassle is that simple, this isn't a good suggestion.

I was surprised at the volume of comments given that it's paywalled. It made me wonder if others had actually read the article or were just commenting on the headline.

Can always read the archive version that's often posted in the comments

This was my thought as well, a good excuse for a slush fund.

The good excuse for the slush fund was $75 billion in supplementary funding Congress approved for ICE with no particular reason or budget. At this point all of ICE is a good excuse for a slush fund.

Yes I know...it is not posted in this thread. In light of that, I am wondering if this conversation is happening amongst people who did not actually read the article.

Police are responsible for violations of the law, not immigration. This also requires due process. And frankly, the per capita rates for crimes committed by unauthorized immigrants is much lower than for citizens. If these violations and murders are what we really care about, we should have an armed enforcement groups that only focuses on citizens. But if that sounds absurd to you, then you’re starting to get it.

As far as I understand it immigration violations fall under federal law which is not the responsibility of the police but of federal authorities like the FBI and, yes, ICE? Soon to be renamed NICE from what I've read with the 'N' standing for 'National' which would make for quite some word play in times ahead like 'watch out, NICE agents on their way'.
