ICE HSI TAPS NVIDIA AI TO EXPAND SURVEILLANCE FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT

Federal records show ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations renewed $19,000 in Nvidia software licenses to boost data analysis and investigative capabilities. Experts warn HSI’s growing use of LLMs and ML could enable surveillance of migrants, visitors, and U.S. citizens, risking biased or flawed inferences. The purchase fits a broader, accelerating pattern of ICE procurement of AI and biometric tools as HSI takes a larger role in immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
