The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is using it in the field.

Boy, it sure would be annoying if someone started to flood their tip line with fake reports. I'd hate to think of the wasted time they'd have to dedicate investigating each of these claims.

It would be best if done on a burner with a different IMEI & IMSI while also not at a place related to where you frequent. The FBI (who now has fewer resources than ICE) were using facial recognition and cell phone data to identify large groups of the opposition not too long ago. It wouldn't be a stretch to think ICE is going to do the same.
