DHS agents used personal Meta AI glasses for surveillance, violating policy and raising privacy and free speech concerns.
Since President Trump took office in 2025, DHS agents including ICE and Border Patrol personnel have been seen using personal Meta AI smart glasses in at least six states, despite DHS policy prohibiting recording with personal devices.
The glasses can record video, take photos, livestream, and potentially use AI to analyze images, raising privacy concerns over unauthorized surveillance of the public, including protesters.
Though DHS has no contract with Meta, the devices may feed footage into law enforcement databases, sparking alarm over misuse, lack of oversight, and potential targeting of dissenters.
A recent court ruling in Los Angeles highlighted the risks, threatening contempt charges for unauthorized recording in courtrooms.
Civil liberties advocates warn the unchecked use of such technology could chill free speech and erode constitutional rights.
