Glenn Spencer is an American political and anti-illegal immigration activist who serves as president of American Border Patrol.[1]
In the 2000s Spencer gained media attention when he converted his ranch on the Arizona and Mexico border into a hi-tech security zone complete with infrared cameras, aerial drones and motion detectors. Spencer patented [2] this technology, which he then offered free of charge to the US federal government.[3][4]
The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have accused American Border Patrol of being a hate group.[5][6][7]
