History

Historical Context

In 2001 the United States passed the Patriot Act, expanding surveillance, border technology and international data sharing after the September 11 attacks. It allocated $50 million for northern-border equipment and set a 2005 sunset for many provisions, creating a digital tracking model. India’s 2026 PRAHAAR conference, led by Home Minister Amit Shah, adopts this model with an online extradition portal for South Asian police.
