MIT investigation: border deaths occurred within range of AI surveillance towers

MIT Technology Review mapped nearly 4,000 locations where migrant remains were found against data on nearly 600 border surveillance towers with AI cameras, finding many died within their range. The US plans to spend another $1 billion to triple the "virtual wall," despite broken towers, failed detection algorithms, and agents ignoring alerts.

• Times of San Diego: at least 138 cases since 2022 near towers
• US to spend another $1 billion to triple the virtual wall
• Systemic flaws: broken towers, failed detection, ignored alerts
