Statewatch | EU prepares to give US direct access to police and immigration databases
www.statewatch.org
The massive increase in violent immigration raids, detention and deportation underway in the US has put off many people from visiting the country. Soon there may be yet another reason to think twice about taking a trip to the “land of the free”: US immigration and law enforcement agencies could be given the power to search European databases, to identify people posing “a threat to US security.”

The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.

    The US police could easily falsify a ticket or just say, I want to immigrate from a neighbouring country if I travel to Mexico for example. But more likely, they get full access and then when it gets out, that they copied it fully, everybody involved will try and make their best Pikachu face.
