Yeah apps are known to be 100% reliable and without bugs.

I bet it just checks the colour of people's skins.
Either that or it has database of who is US citizen or who is here on VISA or something, and if not it deports but it has many points of failure like your ID photo or whatever photo can be bald, but you in the meantime grew hair a little and here it can possibly think you are different person. Especially considering app being "definitive determination" according to screenshot and it overrides birth certificate, like I could see possibility someone getting falsely accused (hopefully not) because they changed their appearance a bit idk.
There's already stories of US citizens being detained despite having valid ID on them. There's financial incentives for them to bring in as many people as possible and they don't care if they get it wrong.
They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Facial recognition has already resulted in false arrests, damage to people's homes, vehicles, livelyhood etc by normal police. ICE has even less supervision and is known to willingly hire people with violent crime records.
I'll say it again: If they remotely deserved the benefit of the doubt, we wouldn't be looking at the reality we currently inhabit.
