U.S. National Security Procurement and Cables
Below is an interactive map of U.S. embassies, naval bases, FBI field offices, ICE ERO/HSI offices, all DEA regional/division offices, and border patrol sectors offices. (Army bases are still in progress, and far more content and connections will be added over the next year.) Clicking on a particular icon links you to Tech Inquiry's data feed of procurement records and/or historical diplomatic cables associated with the particular location.
The locations of surveillance towers along the U.S.-Mexico border were sourced from the EFF's March 2023 mapping project. Border patrol procurement ceased being broken down by regional office and was centralized into the main U.S. Border Patrol office years ago.
Cf. the map of U.S. military bases developed by World BEYOND War.
