Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries,
the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior
that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects.

Border Patrol monitors US drivers and detains Americans for ‘suspicious’ travel
The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious. The Associated Press has found that the predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched, and in some cases arrested.
