(NewsNation) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will allocate $7.5 million next year to using emerging biometric technology to develop smart glasses designed to assist federal immigration agents and officers in identifying migrants who are in the United States illegally in real time, NewsNation has confirmed.
The project is part of President Trumps fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, which earmarks millions toward developing what the White House considers critical technologies, analytic tools and data systems that strengthen DHSs ability to encounter, transport, detain and remove migrants who are in the United States illegally.
The project is listed under the Research, Development and Innovation portion of the budget and calls for operational prototypes of smart glasses for agent use in the first quarter of 2027. Documents reviewed by NewsNation this week indicate that once in use, the smart glasses will equip federal immigration agents with real-time access to information and biometric identification capabilities in the field.
These improvements will directly (allow) efficient and effective immigration enforcement, removal operations and fulfillment of executive orders and administrative priorities while ensuring public safety and operational excellence, the budget plan outlines under a section for budgetary justification. A DHS spokesperson told NewsNation Wednesday that at this time, no federal funds have been committed for any form of smart glasses.

Why would anyone agree to spend so much money on an untested/unproven technology unless it is for no other reason than the transfer of assets from us plebs straight to the ruling class?

Hey, if you happen to look a little too much like somebody under suspicion (according to a machine), it's off to the camps for you.
