Bill Summary

The bill would create a new program within the Department of Homeland Security to use biometric data (like fingerprints and facial recognition) to track and identify people crossing U.S. borders, particularly those moving between countries. This system would help authorities flag individuals of concern and share information across border agencies to improve security screening. The program would affect travelers, immigrants, and border security personnel who would interact with these identification systems.
