Much of border surveillance technology has been expanded under Democratic administrations, but the incoming administration will use it a tool to assist in accomplishing their deportation and immigration crackdown cnbc.com/2024/12/01/trump-ma… @CNBC also with comments by @neil_sahota

How Trump's mass deportation plan can use AI to extend immigration crackdown

AI is already being used at the U.S.-Mexico border to enforce homeland security. Trump's mass deportation plan will likely expand that well beyond the border.

Abolish Frontex@abolishfrontex14 Nov 2024
This is the list of people killed by Fortress Europe since 1993. It contains more than 60,000 names. It is 98 metres long. From Libya to Gaza, Western governments do not care about the lives of people from the Global South. Abolish Frontex. End the genocide. Tear down borders.

"From Israel’s use of AI and facial recognition in Gaza to remote detonation of pagers in Lebanon, this moment should be a massive wake-up call: nothing will remain neutral, and the development of new technologies cannot continue as normal" - Afsaneh Rigot techpolicy.press/the-weaponi…

#Frontex expands its aerial surveillance with more deployments of planes, drones and satellites to find refugee boats. The EU border agency is increasingly passing on their sightings to countries like #Libya. Now a whistleblower reports on this practice: digit.site36.net/2024/07/08/…
