Border Patrol is tracking and tracing American drivers all across the country, according to an investigation by the Associated Press. This information comes from interviews with eight former government officials with direct knowledge of the program as well as government documents, state grant and law enforcement data, and arrest reports.

Border Patrol has concealed the details of this program for years - going to great lengths to keep it out of court documents, police and reports. They’ve even offered to drop charges in order to not reveal any details.

Their driver tracking program uses ALPR technology, which stands for Automatic License Plate Reader. That could be a dragnet for criminals - it also is a criteria that would sweep up average Americans on vacation or who live in rural areas. Their network of cameras extends along both the northern and southern border.
