A U.S. Border Patrol internal memo has revealed that about one-third of the cameras in its primary surveillance network along the southern U.S. border are currently non-functional. This presents significant challenges for border agents tasked with monitoring unauthorized crossings.
The memo, obtained in early October, highlighted issues that affect approximately 150 of the 500 cameras installed on surveillance towers lining the U.S.-Mexico border. The widespread malfunctioning is attributed to “technical problems.”
