📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif ai: Leak Shows ICE Planning to Use Facial Recognition Glasse

Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureaucrats are reportedly planning to use specialty facial recognition glasses to collect data on Americans in real time, independent journalist Ken Klippenstein revealed.

Financial statements viewed by Klippenstein point to the development of a facial recognition platform modeled after commercially available AI smart glasses, like Meta’s widely-panned “pervert glasses.” ICE’s in-house model, it seems, will allow agents to monitor video and reference vast federal databases of biometric information on subjects regardless of if they’ve been arrested, or even charged with a crime.

“The project will deliver innovative hardware, such as operational prototypes of smart glasses, to equip agents with real-time access to information and biometric identification capabilities in the field,” read an ICE budget document leaked to Klippenstein.

Perhaps most alarmingly, Department of Homeland Security insiders told the investigative journalist that the technology involved isn’t limited to immigration enforcement.

“It might be portrayed as seeking to identify illegal aliens on the streets,” one anonymous DHS attorney told Klippenstein, “but the reality is that a push in this direction affects all Americans, particularly protestors.”

That reveal comes just a few months after an incident in Maine in which an ICE agent admitted to scanning protestors’ faces with his phone. “We have a nice little database, and now you’re considered domestic terrorists,” the agent tells a couple who were out documenting the immigration agents in their community.

In October, 404 Media reported that ICE agents were scanning peoples’ faces in order to check whether they were citizens. These targets for surveillance are often chosen at random — we now know that many of ICE’s arrests over the past year have been circumstantial, a far cry from the targeted enforcement of known criminals the Trump administration promised.

Taken together, what began as surveillance infrastructure marketed for catching illegal immigrants now seems to be coming for residents as well. ICE’s smart glasses represent the next iteration of a creeping panopticon that, once in place, will be nearly impossible to uproot — as the history of US immigration enforcement and domestic surveillance has shown us time and again.

📌 MAROKO133 Breaking ai: US Navy seeks massive budget, plans to build 34 more wars

The United States Navy is making efforts that could help begin construction of the Trump-class battleship by 2028, according to reports. The Navy has also been in talks with two different vendors for the battleship’s design process.

In December 2025, US President Donald Trump announced the Navy’s intent to develop a new class of American-designed, 30,000 to 40,000-ton large surface combatants, or battleships.

Called the Trump-class battleships, these vessels are expected to be employed to meet the realities of modern maritime conflict.

Reports have revealed that the Navy is seeking nearly $1 billion in FY27 for the Trump-class battleship.

Trump-class battleship’s design

Secretary of the Navy John Phelan confirmed that the Navy is already in talks with vendors about the design.

“We have been talking to two different vendors as we speak right now, and then it’ll be a function of how we get through that design process with them, and then their capacity in their yards, what we think they can do,” said Secretary of the Navy John Phelan .

“Because we’re looking to really get moving on this and lay the keel in 2028.

The proposed budget would include $1 billion in advance funds to begin work on the 30,000-ton battleship. It would receive another $837 million in research-and-development funds. The Navy would ask for $17 billion in procurement funds for the battleship next year. Plans call for three battleships in all, with the second bought for $13 billion in FY 2030 and the third for $11.5 billion in FY 2031, reported Breaking Defense.

Navy wants to procure 34 ships

In total, the service wants to procure 34 ships in FY27. Specifically, the Navy is seeking to procure one Columbia-class submarine, two Virginia-class submarines, one Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, one America-class amphibious assault ship, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, six medium landing ships, and one frigate in FY27, among others, reported Stars and Stripes.

The new Trump-class of ships — which the president earlier said will contribute to a new “golden fleet” of advanced warships — are currently in the design phase, with construction of the first battleship, the USS Defiant, targeted for the early 2030s. 

The new Trump-class battleships will replace the Navy’s previous plans to develop a new class of destroyer, the DDG(X). However, the sea service intends to incorporate the capabilities it had planned to employ on that platform into the new Trump-class ships.  

It’s also claimed that the future Trump-class battleship, the USS Defiant, will be the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world’s oceans.

Along with standard guns and missiles, the new battleships will be equipped with hypersonic weapons, electronic rail guns and high-powered laser-based weaponry. 

The Navy will take the lead in the ships’ design, while partnering with the U.S. defense industrial base.
