‘SMART WALL’ OPPOSITION: A coalition of privacy and immigrant rights groups are pushing back on the Biden administration’s proposal to deploy a new technology and surveillance systems on the southern border.
In a statement released Thursday and first obtained by The Hill, the 40 groups slam the legislation introduced in Congress last week as a “continuation of the Trump administration’s racist border policies, not a break from it.”
The letter pans the proposed use of smart technology at the border as Trump’s wall by another name.
The administration’s proposal authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to develop technology and surveillance infrastructure to “manage and secure the southern border.”
