Personally, I don't see any problems with providing services (including facial recognition) to government and it's structures.

disc: I'm Amazon employee, not working in any of the facial recognition. I'm also an immigrant, ~5 years in USA

Sure. I think that's a valid position. It's just not what comes to mind first when I think about Amazon as a retail company. (I worked for AWS for quite a while as well.)

The vast majority of the general public has no idea that Amazon is a logistics company (I'm including AWS in that definition) that also happens to do retail stuff. It's similar to how GM was for a long time a finance company that also happened to make cars.
