Border Patrol operates covert “predictive policing” units that scrutinize Americans’ financial data. This intelligence is then shared with local law enforcement, leading to individuals being stopped and searched without probable cause of any specific crime. These units aim to “identify individuals involved in criminal activity” by analyzing non-criminal data, raising significant due process and privacy concerns. The program’s secrecy and lack of transparency amplify fears of unwarranted surveillance and profiling based on financial behavior rather than concrete suspicion. This initiative represents a concerning expansion of government surveillance powers.
