Rashida Tlaib
The Public Record
Rashida Tlaib is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 13th congressional district since January 3, 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib is known for her progressive policies and advocacy for social justice. She is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and has been a vocal advocate for issues such as affordable housing, environmental justice, and healthcare reform. Tlaib has also been involved in efforts to address systemic racism and economic inequality.
In the 13th congressional District, residents will disproportionately bear the harms of facial recognition misidentification.
Without notice or public comments from residents, the Detroit Police Department added facial recognition technology to Project Green Light.
It's not necessary at all to have--to engage in intellectual discourse about immigration in our country.
I'm so glad you mentioned this in your testimony about there's these groups that are just antigovernment.

I was totally excited and pleased when I heard about 49 Muslims were killed and many--many more were wounded in New Zealand.
When do you decide when antigovernment kind of groups are past that line and lead into some sort of violent group?
I see that as antidemocracy, you know, trying to push forward and not wanting everyone to be able to participate.
Now, can you explain how the FBI--so the FBI is not currently using Amazon Rekognition at all.
So, Ms. Del Greco, what policies does the FBI have in place regarding the use of real-time facial recognition technology?
Rekognition, like real-time facial surveillance programs, has dangerously high error rates for women of color as compared to white males.
My residents in Michigan's 13th congressional District have been subjected to increased surveillance and over-policing for decades.
I have to tell you--and through the Chairman, I hope this is okay--this stuff freaks me out.
I feel like if they're threatening the life of someone else, that alone should be just enough for us to get them on it.
But to get to the point where they pass it toward a threatening life, I mean, to me that is enough.
I appreciate that and I hear that throughout your testimony. It's very consistent, Mr. McGarrity.
