The acting ice director prevents AI technology could expose the identities of the agents

Far -left organizations could use artificial intelligence and other technologies to reveal the identity of immigration agents and customs application, Todd Lyons in Fox News Digital in an interview.
Lyons’ remarks are arguing that Democrats in Congress recently proposed the visible law, which would require a clear identification of ice agents and prevent the masking of the federal immigration authorities in circumstances accessible to the public.
“If the legislation passes to try to unmask ice agents, they are not allowed to carry them, it covers the risk of agitators, of different groups, you know, these marginal organizations using reverse technology, AI, to try to do their family, try to obtain their identity, their domestic addresses,” said Lyons about the reaction of agents in the field. “We have heard elected officials say that there should be no rest for ice agents or their families.
“They are therefore really concerned about this. They are also concerned about their own well-being when they go out to make these arrests, because we must now send more officers in the communities, because where we can send four or five to make arrests in the past, we had to send up to eight or 10 to protect the four that produced the arrests of a single individual.”
The Massachusetts bill would force ice agents to unmask

He added that the risk of security requires more resources during arrests. When Ice conducts operations in Los Angeles in June, President Donald Trump sent the California National Guard to the city in order to protect agents and repress the riots. This decision was legally challenged by California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“The navies are withdrawing. This is another victory for Los Angeles,” posted the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass on Monday.
Ice agents have faced an increase of 830% of attacks since last year, according to the DHS. However, supporters of the visible law said it was Nesscary for responsibility.
“For weeks, the Americans have seen federal agents without visible identification with people on the street and breathe the fear of communities across the country,” said senator Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, in a statement on July 8.
“The reports of persons usurping the identity of ice agents have only increased the risk for the security of public and officers. The lack of visible identification and uniform standards for agents of the application of immigration laws has created confusion, impatient fear and has undermined the public’s confidence in the application of laws.”

“The attack could be something to resist an arrest where they attack the police, if they kicks, striking the officers. It could be something as dramatic as we saw in Alvarado, Texas, where we had a local police in ambush with firearms,” said Lyons.
“You saw him during the recent marijuana marijuana raid operation, where we had a handgun on ice officers, rocks were launched. That’s it, from verbal assault to physical assault to threats of body lesions, deadly force. It manages the whole range.”
Authorities charged 12 people in an alleged anti-ice attack at the Prairieland detention center on independence day, including ten for the attempted murder of federal officers and firearms. Reports have indicated that a certain planning has occurred through a group group cat, and Lyon noted that this was probably provided by activists in the Dallas region for a while.

“Well, the FBI does an excellent job investigating on its whole as a whole,” said Lyons. “So, you saw where he was really organized with social media, where you organized people in a typical ambush in the form of where you had escaped vehicles. So, without doing too much in what the Ministry of Justice and the FBI make, there is certainly evidence that it was planned for a while, and it was not only a protest by plane and a display.
In terms of confrontation these coordinated efforts, the director said that it was planning and examining the information available before carrying out an operation.

“What we do is work definitively with all our federal partners as well as the state partners who coordinate with us what we use and all the intelligences we have at our disposal to move forward and try to know as much about these groups and as much as these organizations and these planned events that we can let our officers and agents in the field know,” said Lyons.

“So we want to make sure that the officers are fully aware of what they are doing, but we also make sure that we are properly endowed with staff when we go out.”
In addition, he declared that the recent funding of “Big and Beautiful Bill” would be to try to bring staff who “retired early” under the Biden administration and to look at veterans and civil servants at the local and state levels who “already have training” to “strengthen” agency staff.
