Who is Glenn Spencer?

Glenn Spencer is an American political and illegal immigration activist, and president of American Border Patrol.

In the 2000s Spencer gained media attention, notably from Lou Dobbs of CNN, 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 life savings to attempt to prove it.

The nonprofit civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have accused American Border Patrol of being a hate group.
