An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify ICE agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.
Can Washington do anything about it?
A new twist in the debate over surveillance tech raises tough questions for policymakers.
WOW, a good use of AI
If ice agents are acting legally they shouldn't be covering their faces like criminals do
Can Washington do anything about a Netherlands based person? AYFKM?
More power to them.
Good, they need to be revealed! Since they are so proud of their service, shouldn’t the be recognized? 🤷🏾♀️
Wait, so you're saying AI is actually good for something?
Interesting how they only care about safety if they are referring to ICE agents.
Yes, that's terrifying..
So where exactly are these ICE agents identities being posted? 🍿
Kinda like this, eh? bsky.app/profile/iwil...
arrest the kidnappers
Federal employees should not be masking their faces unless it is with an N95 against airborne diseases. Period.
Homeland Security is ignoring the fact that some of these "agents" are not in fact ICE agents but rather bounty hunters who cosplay as agents. They deserve to be exposed, doxed, and held to account.
That's Home Security's problem not ours.
Washington? He's the fucking father of our country. You mean can trump do anything about it. What a crappy headline.
We’re going to need an app.
AI is not able to do this. It’s not remotely accurate or reliable.
Cry me a river, ICE bitches.
Their scheme of masking and refusing to provide badge numbers or even warrants is illegal. Now violent criminals follow their lead.
The woman below? Stuffed in an unmarked rig by two random schlubs w/ ill-fitting chud garb.
Where is Sky Castro? Where TF is Sky Castro?
Good
My apologies for trashing AI for the past year.
Great. And why would Washington want to anything about? Oh, you mean the fascist regime.
I'm glad those digusting pigs are getting exposed
washington can do something about it. make it obsolete. Better this than the fucking govt or contractors using AI to find trans people, or people seeking abortions. The framing of this is fucked.
Why are they masked?
📌
Alleged ICE agents have started using masks and disguises while refusing to show identification or badges, sparking new concerns about citizen safety.
Well maybe no one would do this if the alleged agents provided proper credentials and warrants.
“unmasking project is part of a broader online campaign, the ICE List, that has published the names of more than 100 ICE employees, from field agents to back-office bureaucrats” - you don’t get to hide while terrorizing other humans.
Where again is the list of those identified? Asking for a neighbour.
Better question: how can we help unmask nazis?
If the headline writer actually believed in transparent governance - that the armed branch of the government should not go anonymous,that secret police are a bad idea - that headline would be radically different.
Washington has all of our faces already and is trying to enslave us, so what is your question?
im a little less anti-ai after reading this. go get em!
Well, that sounds like one actual benefit of AI. We will need to identify them for the trials afterward.
Easy solution. Congress does their job. No masks on duty.
Nope. We fired DC.
“Can Washington do anything about it?”
Get bent. This is great. If I have to have AI shoved down my throat and eventually compete with it for water and power at least it did this one good thing.
Good, these animals deserve no peace.
They should not be masked to begin with. Why? Because they know they are not operating within the law. Good for AI.
This is the only regulation both parties will agree to, sadly
Keep the receipts. These people don’t have enough time to blow it all up and elections will ensure they pay for every law they break. No Republicans can ever be allowed as President to hand out pardons again. Criminals must and will pay.
Prove it first.
Identify them! Prosecute them!
Well , since doxing a federal agent happens to be a federal crime , but nevermind the law politico
These thugs must be held accountable
If they don't want to be treated as gestapo scum, than they shouldn't have deliberately chosen to be gestapo scum.
Weird how AI is good when it's used to find "mortgage fraud" by perceived enemies of Trump, but bad when it's used against his regime to out his brownshirts... er, ICE.
Yeah, here's what they can do about it. They can eat a bag of dicks.
They shouldn’t be masked
None of them should be masked.
Hallelujah!
Good news for a change!
Police and ice scum are valid targets, they are not your friends.
I can help. Love doing stuff like this.
Politico, you're having a shit day for POV on your posts.
First, suggesting Germany is mirroring Nazi Germany.
Now, trying to say AI has gone too far because... ICE is melting?
Your third time today will most likely be rivaling @nytpitchbot.bsky.social in its absurdity.
Get your shit together. 💯
ICE are above the law, like their Grand Wizard Trump.
Seems fair. Fuck ICE.
I mean… eye for eye bsky.app/profile/bran...

Masks are bad now?
and yet they can't identify these kooks.
That's too bad. We regular citizens don't like being spied on by AI. 🤷🏼♀️
public shaming will do the trick of melting ICE
Yes. Unmask ICE agents.
I don't care who they are, you see someone wearing a mask like that outdoors in the summer, run.
What if they wear a prosthesis or clown mask under the cloth mask? Does it make it not work then?
👏👏👏👏
This is surveillance I can get behind.
They shouldn’t ever be masked and we should know theirs. Fucking around like they are has consequences. It’s only a matter of time until we know these POS are.
Karma?
After their identities are released I hope their whole community shames their whole family. Fucking Nazis.
Um yeah. I hope they can't do a thing about it. That person unmasking those gestapo thugs is a hero.
Every ice agent should be exposed and destroyed
This is the use of AI that we can all get behind. You all keep normalizing fascism in the meantime.
Dox those mofos
Clever…
Hahahaha
Probably not. With the clowns they have left over there. Fealty to Trump got them the job but doesn’t much help when it comes to actual work.
Ha ha! Now this is a use of AI I can approve of.
GOOD. FUCK ICE FUCK THEM … FUCKING AI UN-MASK THEM AND SEND THEIR ASSES TO PRISON. THEY FUCKING FORGOT THEY DONT HAVE IMMUNITY.
Good. They need to be identified. They should be servants of the people, not masters of the people.
This is the best news I’ve heard in a minute!
Fuck ICE, they deserve whatever they get, but there's no way that this technology is reliable.
Federal agents shouldn't wear masks.
Taxpayers are giving them $50,000 hiring bonuses we deserve to know who is kidnapping law abiding people off streets.
A better question may be wtaf are they allowed to run around wearing masks to begin with?
Wasn't ICE spotted doing the same on their phones to protesters? Well, if it isn't the consequence of my own actions.
Nice twisting the narrative that people are the ones in the wrong, after ICE is doing this beforehand.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem unveils plans for a new Confederate Army led by ICE and insurrectionists. War on Blue States.
Identify them & post their pictures like mug shots. ICE thugs: You act like a criminal. You will be treated as such.
gee so lucky that Congress passed BBB with AI provisions not regulate AI...makes our activist work in some ways easier.
Gander, meet goose. Goose, this is Gander.
And this runs the risk of false positives. Same as when law enforcement uses it. And it's more likely to misidentify minorities based on flawed training data. Curious how law enforcement didn't really care about false positives. Until now.
Great news !! Let’s uncover these Nazi brown shirts!!!
they should have names and badge numbers, or else they're illegitimate secret police who no one asked for and no one wants
Great 😊
If there’s one time I’ll be pro AI it’ll be for unmasking fascist traitors.
Washington could stop their ICE goons from kidnapping people off the street. That’s what they could do.
Washington will use it against us
Resist! 😠
Heroes
i mean, eek, i hate that it can do that but pandora’s box is already opened, yasss use it for good
Good. They need to be identified..
This is the only good use of AI that I can think of
They need to be identified if only to be sure they are actual agents & not some imposter
How many are faces of the released 1/6 rioters?
We The People have a right to know WHO is terrorizing our streets, homes, schools and more. Unmask and dox every single one in Trump's Gestapo.
They shouldn't. If they're going to surveil us, we should be able to give it right back.
Fuck off Politico.
First time I’ve heard the Ai being used for a good cause
Finally, a productive use for AI.
Maybe they should find another job if they have to hide their faces.
Ok do maybe AI does have a small use
Good! And fuck you, Politihole.
Unmask these felon47 workers
We need to know who these terrorist are, so they can be held accountable for their actions when the democrats take back congress and abolish ICE.
Ugh…politico. You’re the worst
Finally, a good use of AI
Good
I knew this was only a matter of time!! Yes! Hahaha- guess it doesn’t pay to be a fascist pig🤷🏻♀️
They know their actions are unconstitutional, they better be prepared for the trials
A Blackburn spokesperson said she is against the public’s use of computer-assisted facial recognition to identify ICE officials but supports police use of the technology.<
Seems like a better question would be, "Can citizens be allowed to do things that Washington doesn't like?"
Yeah, they could stop these taxpayer-funded "agents" to masking in the first place.
Maybe they shouldn't be masked to begin with Politico. Maybe they should also tell us their names and show their badges to identify them and even have a warrant before they detain anyone.
Random thought to all ICE agents, if you’re not proud of what you’re doing, find a better job.
Can Washington do anything about masked kidnappers with guns occupying major US cities and attacking US citizens?
They can take off the masks
Can it do the same with the keffiyeh of pro-Pally Islamists hiding their faces to avoid accountability for domestic terrorism on American campuses?
Awesome. It needs to be put everywhere the white terrorist Gestapo’s are.
I could care less what happens to any ICE agent. They get whatever they deserve.
We should know who is abusing the population
Hell.yes!!!! Hold them accountable even if it isnt right now
Yes, Washington can stop using a secret police force that masks its agents.
Finally a good use of AI
Show the faces of these traitors
No.
In some videos the ICE person or "lawlessness enforcement" has threatened people with having their facial image and being able to find them. Many times its just a cell phone. Did the DOJ give all those goons an app on their phones?
Good!
cops should never be hiding ever. if you too scared to be seen, then quit.
Finally a good use for AI
And what happens when the AI gets it wrong and doxxes an innocent person?
They watch us, we watch them. It’s reasonable
Toss in cameras with infrared capability.
Good. Identify them all.
I’m sure this tech will be as unreliable at this as it is with everything else people confidently use it for… 🤨
Well, damn. Something good from AI? All those data centers stealing art to train AI, raising our energy bills while making the filthy rich, richer, polluting our water and air, and taking jobs away from humans, but hey, unmask the bastards.
Someone use AI please to prove that MTG was the democratic headquarters bomber
That's great!! We want to know who they are!!!
It requires 35% of the face to be visible, they will start to covering themselves more...
ID every damn one of them. If they are so proud of what they're doing, they should have no problem showing their faces. Only criminals and cowards feel the need to mask up and hide their faces to avoid detection.
Would politicians do anything to protect citizens from AI-powered surveillance? No. Would politicians do anything to protect their Gestapo shaped law enforcement agencies from AI-powered surveillance? Absolutely.
Turnabout is fair play. They are using the same technology to target those opposed to their Gestapo and SS techniques so they can beat the living shit out of them, in the name of Jesus.
Dropping this here for no particular reason.
Oops, you accidentally put "can" instead of "should", Politico. You should fix that error right away. 😏
Bruh you know for a fact the GOP Technofascists in power are all-in on AI deregulation. They won’t end up doing anything fair with AI regulation. If anything, it’ll be targeted, selective, biased, and hypocritical policy. Please make this known to those of the public who still don’t understand this.
It's good software to have if criminals wear a mask at a break in or robbery.
ICE agents need to take off the masks and show some ID so we know they are real agents.
Seems fair.
Good. Everyone should focus on their eyes and tats.
These are not h recover agents. Police officers who follow the law have no reason to hide their identity.
Be a shame if they started getting disappeared. 😈
How effective is it.?
Now let’s put them behind bars…not chocolate ones 🫡🫡🫡
Unreliable technology is still unreliable when the good guys use it.
ICE agents deserve to be hunted like the animals they are.
People who commit crimes with our tax dollars do not deserve anonymity you feckless chumps. I remember when the journalists' creed was something to do with "disturbing the comfortable."
So much for that...
wtf i love ai now
Oh look...it's the consequences of supporting Fascism.
If you think that's tough, just wait until a Maquis rises.
icelist.is Put ICE on ICE - expose them ALL.
DOX them ALL. (Including extended families, personally owned vehicles & related businesses.)
This should extend to ALL members of ALL "police" in 2025. These are our enemies and must be exposed.
That's nothing compared to what passive energy viewing can do. With cameras like that, the mask isn't even there.
"Washington" isn't hiring and deploying the Gestapo, the GOP is. "Washington" would include Democratic lawmakers that are very much against masked Brownshirts kidnapping people. It's obvious which side Politico is on.
Using it on the general population? Fine. Using it to identify federal agents who should be easily identifiable while on the job? Problem.
I don't like this. AI cannot be trusted in any case. We shouldn't be supporting the use of surveillance and we could very easily see this used to accuse the wrong people. Remember the Boston Marathon shooting?
The real question is why democrats hate America and Americans so much they hope their own country fails? Obviously there is no coexistence between Americans and democrats.
WE ARE PAYING THEIR WAGES! We absolutely have the right to know who they are, where they come from and whether or not they have a criminal record. Unmask them! No matter how!
Focusing on the fascist thugs is a waste of time. The real targets should be Thiel, Musk, Murdoch etc
Why's this a issue?
Sounds like a good use of the tech.
After all how are people supposed to know that some random stranger in a mask is actually a government employee.
Great idea, post addresses would be better.
#governments use #ai already against us
Yes, Washington can pass a law that prevents ICE agents from wearing a mask
This is what the Nobel Prize is for.
Nope
Good
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtr...
This.
The people will do what the corrupt government won't.
Love it! Turning their weapons back upon them!
Let’s go! Expose all trump’s Gestapo!
Governments love using AI for stuff like facial recognition, so I suppose they don't like it when the same stuff's used on them in return.
Funny, almost as if the surveillance tech was a bad idea in the first place.
Now, NOW someone wants to stop it, when it finally gonna do something good? Fuck outta here.
YES!!! We need to identify those motherfuckers so their neighbors can tell them what they think
This is how evil works - it ends up destroying itself
