According to DHS’s 2025 acquisition reports and updates, the agency is seeking mobile units outfitted with advanced biometric technology:
- High‑resolution CCTV cameras mounted externally to capture faces and license plates in real time.
- Facial recognition software integrated with DHS databases to identify individua.
- Biometric capture systems capable of extracting facial data from video feeds, even in crowds.
- Secure communication links to transmit data back to DHS servers for analysis and storage.
- Rapid deployment capability so vehicles can be moved to protests, schools, neighborhoods, or border zones with little notice.
These vehicles are part of DHS’s broader AI Use Case Inventory, which includes mobile biometric systems under Directive 026‑11. The directive requires testing for bias, oversight by the Privacy Office and Civil Rights divisions, and limits on using facial recognition as the sole basis for enforcement.
What the Vehicle Might Look Like
Based on DHS’s specifications and similar surveillance platforms:
- Exterior: A large SUV or van, painted in neutral or government colors, with discreet but visible camera arrays mounted on the roof and sides.
- Interior: A workstation with multiple monitors, biometric software dashboards, and secure communication equipment.
- Capabilities: Cameras capable of scanning faces at a distance, even in low light; software that flags matches against watchlists; and storage systems to archive footage.
- Mobility: Designed to blend into urban or suburban environments while retaining the ability to move quickly to new locations.
In practice, these vehicles would resemble mobile command centers, but with a focus on surveillance rather than coordination. They could park near schools, transit hubs, or community centers, scanning passersby without their knowledge.
Risks and Concerns
Civil liberties advocates warn that these vehicles pose unique dangers:
- Privacy intrusion: Citizens could be scanned without consent in everyday public spaces.
- Bias and misidentification: Facial recognition systems have higher error rates for people of color, women, and youth.
- Community impact: Deployments near schoo protests could chill civic participation.
- Transparency gaps: DHS has not fully disclosed how, when, or where these vehicles will be used.
Your projection is truly laughable. And your ignorance concerning the UK is truly Trumpian and depthless. MAGAt-echoing Americans need to stop commenting about places, and things, they know less than nothing about. Away with you, MAGAt!
FYI an American who is upset that you get arrested in the UK for saying "free Palestine" would be the exact opposite of MAGA. Only the trumptards in America support bombing children.
If you're saying that the UK's a shithole and you'll get arrested for simply saying the words "free Palestine" then you're echoing Trump, Vance and the rest, and you're effectively MAGA. That's simply an objective fact. Echo Trump=MAGA. QED
Sooo.. are the Europeans that keep calling the US a shithole also echoing MAGA/Trump/Vance? Just checking where the line of acceptable speech is for you.
We haven't got storm trooper type snatch squads, an openly corrupt pro-Russian President, and folk dying because they can't afford medical treatment or their meds, 30,000 annual gun deaths, mass shootings twice weekly, corrupt gerrymandering, your laws and Constitution being scoffed at by your President and ICE et al, etc, etc, etc. I could go on. America's a shithole.
The whole take of the current US 'administration' is that the UK is a failing country overrun with Islamic militants, etc, etc. Trump and Vance have lyingly said that there are no-go areas even for police. The US 'Administration' just last week released a 'national security strategy' deeming Europe to be much the same in shielded, but obviously racist, terms. Anyone echoing this kind of stuff, including "if you say the words 'free Palestine' you will be arrested", is MAGA to all intents and purpose, and also furthering Putin's goal of destabilising Western democracy and democracies. Trump is now a Russian ally and intent on subverting European democracy too. This is widely and internationally acknowledged.
I am vehemently against Trump and fascism in all forms. Not trying to argue with you or disagree just showing you why people believe others are being jailed for peaceful protest in the UK
This is not the same as saying the words "free Palestine". And while I'm against the criminalisation of certain groups, you are deliberately conflating certain kinds of protests with a simple pair of words, so piss off MAGAt.
They've been doing this shite for years and the violent crime rate is higher than it's been in over a decade; which tells you all you need to know about what this is really in service of.

absolute freaks.
Absolute pigs..
I expect this type of behavior from American police not British…
Fascist police state. Holy shit the UK is a shithole. Same place you can get arrested and jailed for saying "free Palestine".
You can't be arrested in the UK for saying "freePalestine".
Yes you can. You are truly ignorant.

Uh. What? I’ve never heard Trump say that. He says incredibly horrible things every day, but I think maybe you don’t understand his ideology. At all.

United Kingdom: Over 600 more arrests made at peaceful protests https://share.google/I2xaA4rp9UCPBkeTI

from two days ago. https://amnesty.ca/urgent-actions/united-kingdom-over-600-more-arrests-made-at-peaceful-protests/#:\~:text=Between%20November%2018%20and%2029,been%20arrested%20across%20the%20UK.

Yes keep calling a free speech advocate and anti fascist MAGA, I'm sure you'll get one up vote eventually.
Yeah, I'm not a 12 year old looking for upvotes. I'll let you worry about that stuff. Lol.
Still dedicated to digging that hole, eh?
Why don't you go prove your point? Join a free Palestine rally and yell it for the world to hear.
Or is it that you are simply a troll with no self-awareness?
And yet there’s videos of people trying to simply protest against Israel’s crimes in the UK who get explicitly told it’s prohibited
Red coats 🙄
Boot licker
They've been doing this shite for years and the violent crime rate is higher than it's been in over a decade; which tells you all you need to know about what this is really in service of.
