A license plate scanning tool that is marketed to combat car theft or find missing people is now being used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some Arizona police departments have access to the technology, but say that ICE hasn’t requested to use it.

SB 1268 is a dangerous bill that will generate fear and discourage people from seeking critical care. Healthcare is a human right, not a tool for surveilling undocumented communities.

Here’s the 2013 “Pale Blue Dot” as imaged by the Cassini space probe, inspired by the original 1990 Voyager-1 image.
The dot is Earth.

From: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2013/07/Cassini_s_Pale_Blue_Dot
In this rare image taken on 19 July [2013], the wide-angle camera on the international Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn’s rings and our planet Earth and Moon in the same frame.
The dark side of Saturn, its bright limb, the main rings, the F ring, and the G and E rings are clearly seen; the limb of Saturn and the F ring are overexposed. The ‘breaks’ in the brightness of Saturn’s limb are due to the shadows of the rings on the globe of Saturn, preventing sunlight from shining through the atmosphere in those regions. The E and G rings have been brightened for better visibility.
Earth, 1.44 billion km away in this image, appears as a blue dot at centre right; the Moon can be seen as a fainter protrusion off its right side. The other bright dots nearby are stars.
This is only the third time ever that Earth has been imaged from the outer Solar System. The first image was taken by NASA’s Voyager-1 in 1990 and famously titled “Pale Blue Dot”. In 2006, Cassini imaged Earth in the stunning and unique mosaic of Saturn called “In Saturn's Shadow – The Pale Blue Dot”.
The new images marked the first time that inhabitants of Earth knew in advance that their planet was being imaged. That opportunity allowed people around the world to join together in social events to celebrate the occasion.
This view looks towards the unilluminated side of the rings from about 20º below the ring plane.
