A Tennessee grandmother, Angela Lipps, was arrested for crimes committed in North Dakota based on AI facial recognition technology, despite her claims of never visiting the state. Fargo police acknowledged "a few errors" in the case and have committed to operational changes.

A Tennessee grandmother, Angela Lipps, was jailed for nearly six months due to a facial recognition error that incorrectly linked her to a bank fraud investigation in North Dakota. Lipps claims she has never visited North Dakota and is now working to rebuild her life after the incident.

United States Customs and Border Protection has signed a $225,000 deal for one year of access to Clearview AI, a face recognition tool that compares photos against billions of internet-sourced images. This access will be provided to the Border Patrol’s intelligence division and the National Targeting Center to enhance their data collection and analysis efforts.

The DHS and its components deployed a facial recognition app despite knowing it could not perform as claimed. The implementation is part of efforts to increase deportations, aligning with specific political goals.
