The fervor for citizen policing is perhaps on fullest display at the Border Security Expo, an annual bonanza showcasing expensive gear, ranging from robot dogs to powerful A.I. facial and license-plate recognition software. This year’s expo, in Phoenix, featured autonomous attack drones sold by Anduril Industries, a company that was co-founded by Matt Gaetz’s brother-in-law and funded by Peter Thiel. The most notable part was the unusual number of Trump Administration officials who gave keynote speeches, almost all touting the idea that mass deportation would only be achievable if the D.H.S. could make its enforcement machine more efficient and less concerned with immigrants’ rights. Addressing a packed room of law-enforcement officers and law-enforcement enthusiasts at the expo, the acting ICE director, Todd Lyons, said, “We need to get better at treating this like a business.” He described his agency’s goal to be “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”
