This version of the Substack article is the most complete. It includes the specific legal violations you requested, framing Homan’s “Registry” as a direct assault on constitutional and statutory protections.
Last night on The Ingraham Angle, “Border Czar” Tom Homan officially declared war on the privacy of dissenters. By announcing a federal database to “make famous” anyone who impedes ICE, the administration is attempting to bypass the judicial system to hit you where it hurts: your job, your school, and your neighborhood.
This isn’t just a list; it’s an economic hit list. Homan’s goal is to trigger “Conduct Unbecoming” or “Moral Turpitude” clauses in your employment contract before you ever see a judge. To survive the 2026 surveillance landscape, you have to be technically invisible.
The Legal War: Violations & Illegalities
Homan’s proposed registry doesn’t just “bend” the law; it shatters multiple federal protections. If you or your organization are targeted, these are the legal grounds for defense:
1. Violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a)
The federal government is strictly prohibited from maintaining records describing how an individual exercises their First Amendment rights unless specifically authorized by statute.
The Violation: Creating a “protester database” that tracks legal political assembly and disseminating that info to private employers is a textbook violation of the Privacy Act’s “System of Records” requirements.
2. First Amendment Retaliation
The Supreme Court (e.g., NRA v. Vullo, Mt. Healthy v. Doyle) has consistently ruled that government officia take “adverse actions” intended to chill or punish protected speech.
The Violation: By using federal authority to “shame” protesters and pressure employers into firing them, the administration is engaging in unconstitutional coercion (often called “jawboning”).
3. Due Process Violations (5th Amendment)
The government cannot deprive you of “liberty or property” (including your livelihood) without due process.
The Violation: Homan’s “registry” acts as a De Facto Conviction. By labeling you as an “impediment” on a public federal list before a trial occurs, the government is inflicting permanent reputational and economic damage without giving you a chance to defend yourself in court.
4. Misuse of 18 U.S.C. § 111
This statute is meant to protect officers from physical assault. The administration’s attempt to use it to arrest people for filming or non-violent observation is a radical overreach that many legal scholars argue constitutes unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution.
CSP Tactical Guide: Hard-Targeting Your Identity
1. Kill the “Compellable” Biometrics
In 2026, police can legally force your face to a camera or finger to a sensor. They cannot legally force you to divulge a memorized passcode.
iPhone: Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Turn off “iPhone Unlock.”
Android: Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Select “PIN” or “Password” and delete all biometric profiles.
The 6-Digit PIN: Use a random 6-digit alphanumeric code. Avoid birthdays or sequences like “123456.”
2. Lockdown: Disable the “Thief’s Gateway” (Airplane Mode)
You must prevent anyone from putting your phone in Airplane Mode while it is locked.
iPhone: Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Toggle OFF “Control Center” and “Accessories.”
Android: Settings > Lock Screen > Secure Lock Settings > Enable “Lock network and security.” #### 3. Scrub Digital Fingerprints
Every photo you post contains EXIF metadata (GPS/Time). Use these apps to stay clean:
iPhone: Metapho * Android: Scrambled EXIF #### 4. Unconventional Ground Tactics
The Umbrella Shield: Drones in 2026 are constant. Umbrellas (matte black/reflective) create a visual “blackout” for top-down AI.
Visual Dazzle: Research CV Dazzle—asymmetrical makeup that breaks the symmetry AI needs to identify a face.
The Decoy Layer: Wear a bright outer layer. If things get hot, ditch it to reveal dark, non-descript clothing. Drones will keep looking for the “person in the red jacket” while you walk away.
