CBP Is Expanding Its Surveillance Tower Program at the U.S.-Mexico Border–And We're Mapping It

EFF is releasing a new map and dataset of more than 290 surveillance towers installed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) along the border with Mexico, providing researchers with the tools they need to analyze the impact of U.S. border security policy, with 47 locations CBP has proposed for its next round of towers and automated license plate readers (ALPRs) being included, while CBP is planning yet another massive expansion of surveillance towers at the U.S.-Mexico border via the "Integrated Surveillance Tower" (IST) or "Consolidated Tower and Surveillance Equipment" (CTSE) program, intending to upgrade 135 existing towers and install 307 new towers, along with 200 Autonomous Surveillance Towers (ASTs) from Anduril Industries, which are controlled by artificial intelligence software.
