If I had to quantify my suspicion of Spanish radio listeners in my city, I’d say that 90% are likely illegal immigrants.
If I was in Florida, I’d say that 10% are likely illegal immigrants.
Don’t interpret my observation of illegal immigration existing as condemnation of a group of people who migrated across vast distances and dangerous deserts in order to work hard manual labor jobs in order to better their families. If I were in their shoes, I’d do the same. But, that doesn’t make it any less illegal.
My figure is a direct observation having worked landscaping and construction jobs in my town along side people who are illegal and open about it. Then, interacting with the second and third generation friends in school, they weren’t listening to the Spanish radio stations.
CBP also maintains statistics: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration
In the private sector, Pew Research (a well regarded, nonpartisan institution) generates statistics using loads of studies. See, e.g., https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/12/us-unauthor...
These are all readily found using some basic Google searches.

Police forces _has_ to act before such happens
This is like metal detectors in airports - useless
Coz if someone want to do harm - they can do this on parking, in line or in any areas near where people are crowded
And even more There is no evidence that facial recognition lower terrorists attack possibility
If I were a Western country, I would simply arrest all the known terrorists.
I would also note that Nielsen rating are based on an incredibly small number of Nielsen listeners. Their system might be good enough for advertising, but not for dragnet surveillance.
Look, I get that if you are worried about illegal immigration, then using FR at Latin concerts has a rough logic. My point is that targeting ethnic groups for mass surveillance is not good for anyone.
(Note: I see where you said the government should probably not do that, but the rest of your post seemed to support the practice.)
No matter how much I hear about illegal immigration being cracked down upon, the Spanish speaking radio stations aren’t being converted to another format, so there’s still enough advertiser demand to pay for the station. That can only happen if the advertisers are finding a large enough customer base to justify their costs.
If these radio stations then sponsor concerts, it’s likely that the attendees will have a high illegal immigrant percentage.
Should the government be able to mass survey the Spanish speaking population attending these concerts, looking for immigrants who have not turned up to their deportation hearings?
I applaud the government for being that efficient with my tax dollars (I expect this method is much cheaper than others), but should they be doing it? Probably not.
Now what about facial recognition for known terrorists at large sporting events in order to prevent an attack? Maybe?? At music festivals? I can see the argument there too.
