@evacide Call me crazy, but the most terrifying thing to me in this article is: "Asked what supported probable cause, the agent cited the woman speaking Spanish, her presence with others who appeared to be noncitizens, and a “possible match" via facial recognition."

Holy goodness that is not probable cause. The 4th amendment is no more.
