I have less of a problem with it when it’s done as part of customs than when it’s done by roving gangs of photographers. The latter is clearly for intimidation.
The process of entering and exiting China involved photographs and facial recognition. Same, actually, come to think of it, with Canada’s entry (but not exit to my knowledge). But the key in these situations was that it was part of an organized process.
The story here is talking about gangs of ICE types taking your photo willy-nilly at random, not as part of a process. It’s just intimidation tactics.
