U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is seeking to spend up to $2 million on Boston Dynamics’ SPOT robot dogs to support border security, infrastructure protection and other law-enforcement operations.

The remotely operated robots are equipped with 360-degree cameras and extendable arms that can open doors and inspect potentially dangerous areas for threats such as weapons or explosives.

Similar robots are already used by the Secret Service and police departments across the U.S., including for surveillance and hazardous-scene assessments.

ICE says the technology would allow officers to inspect high-risk environments while reducing danger to personnel.

Traders predict a 13% chance Trump will rename ICE to NICE before 2027.
