Protection, flush with billions in new funding, is seeking “advanced AI” technologies to surveil urban residential areas, increasingly sophisticated autonomous systems, and even the ability to see through walls.

A CBP presentation for an “Industry Day” summit with private sector vendors, obtained by The Intercept, lays out a detailed wish list of tech CBP hopes to purchase, like satellite connectivity for surveillance towers along the border and improved radio communications. But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.

And citizens should use all surveillance and crowdsourcing assets possible to conduct mass surveillance of Border Patrol employees.

We should know where they live and where their kids go to school.

They are using the same information against citizens.

Keep scraping.

The "borders" extend 100 miles inland - from the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, the Pacific, from Canada and Mexico. They've also argued that they also extend out from internal "borders" as well - ie, international airports. St Louis, Denver, Indianapolis - congratulations.

Even without including airports, two thirds of the US population lives within this 100 mile border zone.

Well shit I’m in triple coverage

A great business opportunity for IDF to sell its urban war tech to the USA. LA can be New Gaza.

American cities want advanced AI to spy on the border patrol.
