ICE plans to buy robot ‘dogs’ for some immigration enforcement operations
- On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced plans to spend up to $2 million on robot dogs for use in immigration enforcement operations, according to a federal procurement notice.
- The Boston Dynamic SPOT Robots, featuring 360-degree cameras and opening doors, are already utilized by the Secret Service, at Mar-A-Lago, and by the Los Angeles Police Department; they lack attack capabilities but possess extendable arms.
- According to the federal procurement notice, the robots help "support public safety and law enforcement operations" by providing inspection capabilities in hazardous, difficult-to-access environments.
- This procurement follows the Department of Homeland Security approving $16 million for electric shock gloves to give to officers around the country, according to official funding documents.
- DHS intends to deploy the robots to enhance border security and infrastructure protection, allowing agents to assess areas that are unstable, confined, or difficult to access.
