<p><span class="notebook-summary mat-body-medium">Todd Miller, a journalist and author specializing in the militarization of the U.S. border, argues that the current expansion of CBP and ICE is a bipartisan trend spanning decades, rather than a phenomenon exclusive to any single administration. He describes a growing &#8220;border industrial complex&#8221; where private companies profit from surveillance technologies like robotic dogs, AI towers, and biometric databases. These advanced tools and &#8220;extra-constitutional powers&#8221; are increasingly moving from the borderlands into the interior of the United States, impacting major cities and American citizens. He warns of a transitioning police state where digital walls and mass detention facilities are becoming normalized global standards.</span></p> <p><iframe title="Todd Miller: CBP, DHS, &#38; ICE Border Militarization Creating Police State #626" src="https://widget.spreaker.com/player?episode_id=70240144&#38;theme=light&#38;playlist=show&#38;playlist-continuous=false&#38;chapters-image=true&#38;episode_image_position=right&#38;hide-logo=false&#38;hide-likes=false&#38;hide-comments=false&#38;hide-sharing=false&#38;hide-download=true" width="100%" height="350px" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p><iframe id="odysee-iframe" style="width: 100%;
