"ICE Out of Our Faces Act" would ban ICE and CBP use of facial recognition A few Senate Democrats introduced a bill called the โ€˜โ€˜ICE Out of Our Faces Act," which would ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from using facial recognition technology. The [bill][1] would make it "unlawful for any covered immigration officer to acquire, possess, access, or use in the United Statesโ€”(1) any biometric surveillance system; or (2) information derived from a biometric surveillance system operated by another entity."
