There will be a court case where some bit of evidence is going to be similar to:

Ice Agents: "Is <name> here illegally?" AI prompt: "you're absolutely right!"

Not sure why they'd bother, since we're in the "random kidnappings are the MO" territory already, regardless of the citizenship status.
This. It’s more about using AI to do facial recognition or similar things to detect individuals en masse and flag them for the gulag.
If only. If ICE arrests and deports someone without due process, there is no court case.
But the AI vote will be used as a fig leaf so they don't even have to pretend to mete out justice. "AI said it, it must be true" will soon become a mantra (even though most people here know how wrong it can be and how often it actually is).

I hear that lazy LEOs now use AI to write police reports. Noice. And the AI can trivially show up for hearings.

They'd quickly cancel the contract with any supplier that doesn't give them the carte blanche and obfuscation of responsibility they want.

Just like other ML and big data LEO projects in the past, assume the use of AI is to greenlight what they already want to do and would like a fig leaf of justification for from a computer.
