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 sought to show the American federal government how easy it was to halt illegal immigration and used his own savings to attempt to prove it.[2][3]
The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have accused American Border Patrol of being a hate group.[4][5][6]
