U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-10) announced that he and fellow lawmakers in Congress are demanding that the Biden-Harris administration stop violating federal immigration laws.
McCaul and 32 Republican lawmakers signed a letter to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris demanding that federal immigration laws be enforced, specifically the DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005. This act authorizes federal government agencies to collect DNA samples from every immigrant who is arrested, charged, convicted, or detained.
For nearly ten years, according to the Office of Special Council, the Department of Homeland Security did not follow the law fully. After being notified by the OSC in 2019, the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice published a proposed rule to fix the non-compliance and it was finalized in 2020.
According to whistleblowers, the Biden-Harris Administration has still failed to fully implement the DNA Fingerprint Act.
