Mexican surveillance company Grupo Seguritech operates Plataforma Centinela, an AI-powered system deployed across Chihuahua that integrates cameras, license plate readers, facial recognition drones, and analytics for law enforcement. The company has secured 63 government contracts worth $1.27 billion since 2012 and operates in 26 of Mexico's 32 states. A data-sharing agreement between Texas and Chihuahua raises human rights concerns about mass surveillance and potential misuse against migrants.
