The Department of Homeland Security allocated $5 million in its 2025 budget to open an AI Office .

Experts worry that increased use of AI by the DHS could lead to privacy and due process violations.

Trump has said he will start mass deportation efforts with criminals, but he has also vowed to repeal Temporary Protected Status for individuals.

AI already has a muscular presence in managing the vast, challenging-to-monitor U.S. borders.

DHS's Customs and Border Protection already has employed AI-powered drones with machine-learning capabilities to identify unusual patterns that could signal illegal crossings.

"At a minimum, we could expect AI to be leveraged not as a tool for efficiency, fairness, and safety in immigration-related decision-making," an AI advisor said.
