## Resource

Amid President Donald Trump's massive immigration crackdown, protesters have shared videos showing ICE agents appearing to photograph or videotape people with their cell phone cameras. The reason why? Investigative journalists at CNN found immigration agents are running facial recognition software to identify people. CNN reporter/producer Yahya Abou-Ghazala explains how this technology works and what it means for people who come into contact with ICE agents. For more information on the legality of President Trump’s immigration crackdown and the protests around it, check out this episode of the CNN podcast One Thing.
