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.

      Sigh… you might wanna read the whole comment chain. The last comment was about changing your name outside of being trans.

        The previous commenter was not asking about anything but trans though. And it doesn’t really matter anyways because you can change your name for other reasons as well.

          No, they were asking for “anyone who changes their name”. And yes there are a few specific reasons when you are able to change your name but not, like I said, just like that.

          Why are your comments smelling like “Uhm Aktschually” from reddit?
