I want to reiterate, per my earlier thread, that what the ACLU is bringing to court is a small fraction of what’s actually happening on the ground. These are only the incidents for which they have the best documentation, the ones most presentable in court.
You don’t even hear about 95% of the illegal stuff ICE is doing in MN — not in court, not on social media, certainly not on the news. This is the tip of the illegal action iceberg (pun intended, no apologies).

I’m a bit concerned that the OP’s framing takes scenario 1 as a given (or at least is likely to be understood that way). The history of the current AI bubble is full of warnings about AI that are secretly •advertisements• for AI, and I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.
(I doubt that’s the OP’s intent! But regardless of intent, it’s a danger, something to watch out for.)
