    "notes": "The DHS 2025 AI Use Case Inventory (entry DHS-2729, as consolidated by the Office of Management and Budget) lists 'Facial Recognition for National Security and Transnational Criminal Organizations' as a pilot. The entry describes a US Border Patrol pilot, begun 9 October 2025, of facial recognition from Clearview AI that finds visually similar public photographs of unidentified people to give analysts investigative leads. It says no enforcement action may rest on a lead alone and personnel must check CBP or other government data first. DHS presumed the use high-impact and determined it is not.",
