ICE Collecting DNA Samples
ICE's DNA collection program projects detainee samples to reach 33% of CODIS offender index by 2030, raising privacy concerns.
A Schneier on Security blog post discusses ICE collecting DNA samples from detainees, citing Georgetown Law research. DHS detainee samples are projected to constitute 33% of the FBI's CODIS offender index in 2030, up from 0.2% in 2019. The post raises concerns that samples collected under civil authority are being searched against crime scenes indefinitely, potentially without legal cause under Fourth Amendment standards.
