A payments director at the Minneapolis-based retail giant Target Corp. said her fast-track credentials for airport security were revoked following an interaction with a federal border patrol agent who claimed he had facial recognition and was recording with a “body cam.”

Nicole Cleland, a 56-year-old from suburban Minneapolis, said in a court declaration that she was participating with a neighborhood group on Jan. 10 that tracked federal agents with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, two agencies under the Department of Homeland Security that are carrying out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
