Like the Trump administration South border repression Begins, a bipartite pair of border state legislators reintroduced the legislation which, according to them, would accelerate the use of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to strengthen the application.
THE Emerging law of innovative border technologies representatives Lou Correa, D-Calif., And Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, spent the house last year but won over the Senate legislative calendar in December.
In an interview with FEDSCOOP, Correa said that the bill was aimed at reducing “bureaucracy of purchase acquisition” to ensure that the Ministry of Internal Security has access to the best most profitable technology to guarantee the border as quickly as possible.
Member of classification of the subcommittee of the indoor security of the room on the security and the application of the borders, Correa underlined the “rapid rhythm” in which Ukraine Acquired tech In his fight against Russia as an example of not being “bound by bureaucracies”.

Recent progress in specific technologies would also be explored by the DHS within the framework of the bill, including inhabited aircraft sensors and unmanned air systems, a multitude of surveillance technologies, such as the surveillance systems of the Tour and mobiles, miniature satellites and the large long -term evolution strip.
Innovation teams on customs and borders, for their part, would be able to control various emerging technologies along the specific border regions, a movement to provide agents with better tools to carry out their work.
Luttrell said in an interview with Fedscoop that he and Correa worked to find a Senate companion for the bill. Given the trifecta of the power of the Republicans in Washington, he is optimistic about his prospects, especially since the legislation was designed to “take place parallel” with the executive decree of President Donald Trump on Secure the borders of the nation.

The bill, said Largell, consists in advancing technologies within DHS at a time when “cartels and all bad players from around the world really move in technological space, or in the cyber- Metavese ”. These groups “use these capacities to defeat us”.
“It is an unconventional war,” he added. “It’s really guerrilla tactics on the border. (DHS needs) each asset they may have. »»
