On 01/10/2026 near Minneapolis, Minnesota, legal observer Nicole Cleland reportedly stated that a CBP Border Patrol agent stopped her vehicle, addressed her by name, and claimed agents used facial recognition to identify her while recording on body cam. She reportedly had her Global Entry and TSA PreCheck revoked on 01/13/2026, which she alleged was retaliatory intimidation, causing travel burden and chilling effects.

What this means for youAt home, this shows police and border agents may use facial recognition to identify people who record them, and a travel status can be affected afterward. At work and in government, it raises questions about how these tools are limited and whether people can challenge them.
