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. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going, and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement. The Border Patrol’s parent agency said they use license plate readers to help identify threats and disrupt criminal networks and are governed by "federal law and constitutional protections.”

„Patriotische Exponate“: Trump bringt öffentliche Museen auf Linie

Das Weiße Haus ordnet eine umfassende Überprüfung der Museen und Ausstellungen der Smithsonian Institution an. Die Exponate der öffentlichen Museen sollen künftig mit jener Interpretation der US-Geschichte im Einklang stehen, die Präsident Donald Trump vertritt, wie ein Brief an die Institution vom Dienstag zeigt. Bei der Begutachtung sollen alle öffentlich zugänglichen Inhalte überprüft werden, etwa darauf, ob sie auch „patriotisch“ sind.
