The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has built up a robust focus on digital civil liberties at the U.S.-Mexico border, including challenging the warrantless and suspicionless searches of electronic devices and the massive increase in surveillance infrastructure throughout the region.

The EFF team has gathered firsthand knowledge of local tech concerns through a series of visits to communities on both sides of the border where we interviewed journalists and activists, and mapped and documented the proliferation of border surveillance tools. As a result of this work, EFF has created a traveling exhibit featuring information and photographs from several years of research and advocacy. Join the panel featuring EFF Director of Investigations Dave Maass, EFF Senior Policy Analyst Matthew Guariglia, Todd Miller, Pedro Rios, and Petra Molnar as they explore digital civil liberties at the U.S.-Mexico border and the work that brought the exhibit to life.
