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.

I'm sure Ivanka has a patent for DNA information collection in China

Sounds a lot like Hitler

Trump defends his country from the damn Marxist terrorists

So we can afford this but can’t afford to clean up the backlog of rape kits across the country

😳

march4progress Disgusting.

hope he starts whit his migrant wife and her migrant family first 😂😂😂👎🤮

Great idea.

Nah, fuck that

I'm for it. When they commit crimes they can be IDd easier. Say DNA is left at a murder scene. BOOM, we have a name and face.

Did they go for the visible David’s star on their clothing instead

Nazism at it's worst. Why is the Trump Regime collecting DNA on migrants Who's next, American citizens?

Jussie 'the noose' says lynch the Dems in 2020

And the beat goes on. The arrogance of this administration is astounding.

I love this idea. Could help relieve so many men of support payments from promiscuous females claims of false paternity which is documented to be as high as 30% in Western Countries. DNAtestyourpaternity womencheatmore

He needs to do this to the legal citizens of the USA!!! There’s so many CORRUPT criminals living here. It works both ways.

Nothing wrong with that..!!

Yikes

Great Idea

Mama mia Trump this is not how you welcome migrants!!!

It's almost like the Constitution doesn't exist to Trump anymore

Why don't they fund DNA testing for all those THOUSANDS of rape kits sitting in storage units all over the country Use medical technology to catch REAL criminals...

What’s the problem?

Perfect!

This seems unconstitutional. How about using the funds to test the back log of rape kits and solve some crimes.

and then the homeless and then anyone who gets arrested and then the unemployed and then gov't employees and then.........

Hell no

By migrants do you mean lllegal aIiens?

Why don’t they tattoo the Mexican Flag on them along with a serial number?

Supreme Court?

Nice. It should be done for all criminals.

can the rest of the world do this to american imigrants as well? i just asking

Seeking asylum is not a criminal act. Seeking asylum is not a precursor to criminal acts.

Ther are millions of rape kits in this country that are unprocessed but the government can collect DNA from people who wish to migrate to the US. Glad to see this administration has its priorities set.

The important word is criminal. Seeking asylum is not a criminal act. Under our judicial system you cannot be forced to give up your DNA without due process through our judicial system. Article VI of the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution.

How can he keep their DNA in a criminal base or even force them to take a DNA test? What’s this going to cost taxpayers. I hoe they have all the Trump Mafia Family’s DNA in a Criminal Database.

If trump. We're on fire I wouldn't piss on him to put him out. I would dance like I just hit the lottery. My give a fucks are busted. The only thing that makes me feel better is when I spread his failures and he has plenty. Putins cockholster 😂

There is a word for this.

Good!

Isn't it just enforcing a 2005 Fed law already on the books

About time.

And NBC takes the bait. Spreads it to be people who will also take the bait. Then they get mad. IMPEACH they yell. Then Trump says something else and everyone forgets about their original anger and recycles it into new anger. BAIT

Good if it helps stem the flow of illegal aliens I am all for it

Good

How much would this cost

It's about f'ucking time!

White House Moves Testing Republican Support for TrumpPresident Trump faces increasing public and private scrutiny from his own party over a series of recent White House moves, as the House impeachment inquiry reduces his margin for error with fellow Republicans and makes him more vulnerable to attacks. But it doesn’t really GOP most republicans in the Senate will convict Trump if he is impeached by the Congress. If the current republicans don'tsupport ourpresident thenin 2020 wewill replace all of them.I highly recommend that they watch the master in action.Syria will end up just fine 20 mile separation, filled with refugees, jobs, food, and finally life to enjoy in peace.Great buferzone
