ICE and CBP are using facial recognition technology to facilitate President Trump's mass deportation campaign. With a smartphone app, immigration officers can scan faces of people they encounter and quickly search those faces against 200 million images stored in several government databases that are "notoriously error-filled," according to Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. "It's being used on the street in ways that are dangerous, that are totally unprecedented in this country, and that are, frankly, blatantly illegal," he adds.

Deadly anti-government protests continue to rock Iran in the midst of the country's spiraling economic crisis. Thousands of civilians are believed to have been shot dead by government forces in the past few weeks. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to threaten military intervention in addition to a harsh new set of economic sanctions that the U.S. introduced this week. Although a government-instituted communications blackout has made it difficult to assess exactly how many people have been killed, we sit down with Iranian author Sahar Delijani to discuss the "working-class uprising" against Iran's "capitalist regime." Delijani was born in Iran's notorious Evin Prison — where her leftist activist parents were detained in the 1980s — just a few years before her uncle was executed during the 1988 massacres of Iranian political prisoners. "This is part of a long struggle of Iranian people to oust this regime, against tyranny, against dictatorship, against an authoritarian, theocratic regime, a military state," she says. "This has been happening, partly due to sanctions, but also partly to this rampant corruption and mismanagement."

Her reporting uncovered the exploitation of workers in Kenya, attempts to take massive amounts of freshwater from communities in Chile, along with numerous accounts of the technology's detrimental impact on the environment. "This is an extraordinary type of AI development that is causing a lot of social, labor and environmental harms," says Hao, in an extended interview.

 Dustin Franz/ AFP via Getty ImagesFox News anchor Bret Baier is fending off pre-emptive fire from Donald Trump's fans as he attempts to convince the MAGA-verse that his upcoming interview with Vice President Kamala Harris won't be rigged.
Following their familiar playbook, users on X claimed—without evidence, and this time before even seeing the interview—that the Special Report host planned to edit Wednesday's interview tape to make the Democratic presidential candidate look better.
Baier spent several hours Tuesday assuring MAGA users he hadn't made any concession to Harris to land the interview and wouldn't be giving her the questions in advance, but his explanations didn't seem to get through.
