ICE and CBP have trampled on our Constitution when they build databases of regular people concerned about ICE committing violence in their communities or scan the faces of people on the street to run through their surveillance systems. I'm glad to work with Senator Markey to protect Americans against harassment and biometric surveillance by Trump's handpicked militia.
