This moves Clearview from ad hoc investigative use toward embedded, day-to-day analyst workflows inside CBP’s targeting and intelligence units, increasing the volume and operational reliance on face-search outputs in immigration and national security actions. The contract structure implies routine handling of biometric identifiers and other sensitive personal data by analysts and contractors, raising immediate compliance and oversight exposure around data retention, search scope (including possible US-person queries), and contractor access controls. NIST testing cited in the reporting indicates materially higher error rates (often >20%) on less-controlled border-capture images, which increases the operational risk of misidentification when used for targeting decisions rather than post hoc leads.
