We’re interested in hearing from folks who’ve been subject to this DNA collection, and in exploring ways to help people defend their rights. To help us learn more about the federal government's growing genetic surveillance powers, email us at privacy@georgetown.edu.

Aunque esta actualización se centra en ciudadanos estadounidenses, el programa de recolección de ADN del DHS afecta a todas las personas en los Estados Unidos, independientemente de su ciudadanía. Para evitar un futuro de vigilancia genética universal, debemos impedir que el DHS asalte el genoma.

La falta de salvaguardias internas plantea preocupaciones constitucionales serias. Esto es alarmante dado un fallo de la Corte Suprema que eliminó la prohibición contra el perfilamiento racial por parte de agentes migratorios, ignorando años de jurisprudencia por la 4.ª Enmienda de la Constitución.

Los agentes de CBP no siempre explicaron por qué tomaban ADN de ciudadanos. Cuando dieron una razón, a veces se basaron en infracciones no criminales. Aun así, no existen mecanismos estructurales para identificar casos en los que CBP recolecta ADN sin razón o motivos suficientes.

En cientos de casos, estas investigaciones nunca resultaron en cargos federales formales. Muchas veces la CBP no tenía base para sospechar una violación legal, decidió no remitir el caso a fiscales federales, o los fiscales optaron por no presentar cargos.

Entre 2020 y 2024, Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) a sabiendas tomó el ADN de aproximadamente 2,000 ciudadanos estadounidenses. Sus muestras fueron enviadas al FBI para ingresarlas en CODIS, una base de datos de vigilancia federal.

Read Stevie’s piece in Lawfare: The Department of Homeland Security is Unlawfully Collecting DNA
The Department of Homeland Security Is Unlawfully Collecting DNA
The department’s accelerated DNA collection program is a civil rights and civil liberties nightmare. Consent is not the cure.

While today’s update focuses on US citizens, DHS’s DNA collection program affects everyone in the US – regardless of citizenship. To avoid a future of universal genetic surveillance, we must stop DHS from raiding the genome. www.raidingthegenome.org

The lack of internal checks raises serious constitutional concerns. This is especially concerning given a recent SCOTUS decision lifting a ban on immigration agents’ racial profiling, which wrote off decades of Fourth Amendment law.
