Trump admin. issues a proposal Monday that would allow it to collect DNA from migrants detained by immigration authorities and keep that data in a massive FBI criminal justice database.
“The proposed rule change would help to save lives and bring criminals to justice by restoring the authority of the Attorney General to authorize and direct the collection of DNA from non-United States persons detained at the border and the interior by DHS, with the ultimate goal of reducing victimization of innocent citizens,” Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said in a statement Monday announcing the proposed rule.
The proposal has drawn criticism from civil rights groups who have raised concerns over privacy, surveillance and the storing of the information in a database used for serious criminal investigations. “This kind of mass collection alters the purpose of DNA collection from one of criminal investigation to population surveillance, which is contrary to our basic notions of freedom and autonomy,” Eidelman said.
