A false online identification, powered by artificial intelligence, has targeted innocent people following a death during a U.S. immigration raid.
Renee Good died during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minnesota. After the incident, internet users launched a hunt to name the agent involved.
