  1. Bets on using flock to backtrack her vehicle? Then pull up her info? Logged into a database for further retribution. After the unlawful pullover, they probably scanned her face at that point.

    “An agent exited the vehicle and approached my vehicle,”  wrote. “I remained in my vehicle. The agent addressed me by my name and informed me that they had ‘facial recognition’ and that his body cam was recording. The agent stated that he worked for border patrol. He wore full camouflage fatigues. The agent stated that I was impeding their work. He indicated he was giving me a verbal warning and if I was found to be impeding again, I would be arrested.”

    „I logged onto the Global Entry site and the notification letter indicated that indeed my status had been revoked and that they can’t always disclose the reason. The notification did provide some reasons that my status may have changed and the only one that makes sense was “The applicant has been found in violation of any customs, immigration, or agriculture regulations, procedures, or laws in any country.” I was not detained, I was not arrested so [it is] difficult to understand how I was “found in violation.”“

    „I had been a member of the Global Entry program since 2014 without incident. I am not particularly concerned with the revocation of my privileges in isolation. However, given that only three days had passed from the time that I was stopped, I am concerned that the revocation was the result of me following and observing the agents. This is intimidation and retaliation. I was following Legal Observer laws. I [was] within my rights to be doing what I was doing.“

    Looks like a pretty good intimidation tactic

    „said she hasn’t performed any observation of federal agents since January 10, but has “continued to engage in peaceful protests” and is “assessing when I will return to active observations.”“

    Pretty obvious first amendment violation. Being punished by the government for protesting is clearly unconstitutional. Does the current administration care?

  3. Welcome to Communist USA as they had previously described, except now for real.

    Facial recognition turning into downstream penalties is exactly what privacy advocates warned about. Convenience can turn into leverage faster than people expect.

    Yeah, the constitution is dead. It’s just a piece of paper after all and has no power of its own if not enforced.

  6. Vance went on the Kirk podcast and told Americans to get others fired for not showing enough fealty to St Charlie

    Yep. And TheFIRE.org will do nothing about it. Because she was using her speech against the right wing nut jobs and Greg Lukianoff can’t stand that.

  8. They are taking away our rights. I don’t care who you vote for. Shit is getting bad .

  9. Funny how the government can suddenly work so fast across various tech platforms and layers of bureaucracy when they want to harm the average person. But try filling for unemployment and suddenly it’s excuses after excuses for the slowness and inefficiencies.

    The trump administration is attempting to violate as many rights as possible because they know it will take forever to get though the courts. This is intentional.

    Thankfully she has the resources to challenge her “listing”. Many are not able so she is doing a solid civic action for us all as we enter the “twilight zone” of trumps madness. The right to peacefully protest must be vigorously defended.
