I Went to the Border Security Expo and All I Got Was Anxiety

Fuck every single company and speaker at this thing.

For 2-days at the Phoenix Convention Center top law enforcement agencies met at the Border Security Expo with speeches from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, “border czar” Tom Homan, CBP’s chief AI officer Joshua Powell, and former AI policy lead at Meta Jason Hirsch. Over 200 industry leaders and company spokespeople packed the exhibitor hall, eager to help the Trump administration and border enforcement agencies carry out mass raids, detentions, and deportations. This is what I saw.

The following is a list of the companies at the Border Security Expo. If there was even a fraction of justice in the world, they’d go bankrupt and earn their one-way ticket to The Hague . Unfortunately, America.
