  • Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate, the president-elect announced a $100 billion investment from SoftBank, a Japanese company. He also jumped from one topic to another in an hourlong appearance.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 16, 2024, discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to use drones for border surveillance, which has sparked controversy due to its implications for privacy and civil liberties. Trump's plan involves deploying advanced drone technology to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border more effectively, aiming to reduce illegal crossings and enhance national security. Critics argue that this could lead to widespread surveillance, potentially infringing on the rights of individuals near the border. Additionally, the article touches on the broader context of Trump's immigration policies and their impact on communities, including concerns raised by advocacy groups about the potential for these drones to disproportionately affect autistic individuals, who might react adversely to the presence of drones due to sensory sensitivities. The piece also explores the technological capabilities of these drones, their cost, and the political debate surrounding their deployment.
