US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) just released documents in response to one of EFF’s Freedom of Information Act requests show that DHS is considering collecting DNA from kids ages 14 and up—and is considering expanding its regulations to allow collection from kids that are younger..

The proposal appears to be working its way through DHS in the wake of regulations from the Department of Justice that require all federal agencies—including DHS and its components such as ICE—to collect DNA from individuals arrested for federal crimes as well as “from non-United States persons who are detained under the authority of the United States,” whether or not they have been involved in criminal activity. While the law specifically exempts a few classes of “aliens,” the documents we received show DHS may start DNA collection from anyone it fingerprints. Currently, that’s any child over 14 who’s detained, but we also found records that show ICE could lower that age even more.

We need similar regulations for our feral government overlords.

We need DNA from all of them, and they should be required to wear webcams wired to the interwebs 24/7 so we can monitor their activities and make sure they aren't doing anything nefarious.

For the children.

If we can save just one life, it will be worth it.

I agree, with gps tracking. I would wouldn’t feel bad if it shorted out and zap them every once and awhile. :-)
