Content warning: speculation and discussion about dystopianism, US fascism, mass surveillance
After ICE murdered Alex Pretti, it became known that he'd had a run in with ICE a week earlier, which was documented as he went to the ER for a broken rib courtesy of ICE. Knowing the prior interaction, the question arose as to how spontaneous the killing of Alex Pretti was. Was a decision to capture or kill him issued, on the day of his murder, as soon as he was recognized by the surveillance apparatus, before any ICE agent interacted with him?

Based on what this article about 2020 Russian technology used in Iran suggests, I'm more convinced the killing of Alex Pretti was more pre-meditated. My fears of facial recognition in general are pretty piqued after reading this
