Congressmen McCaul and Cuellar reintroduced the BITMAP Act to enhance border security through international biometric cooperation.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressmen Reintroduce Security Legislation: Congressmen Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) have reintroduced the Biometric Identification Transnational Migration Alert Program (BITMAP) Authorization Act. This bipartisan measure aims to strengthen a Department of Homeland Security program that helps partner nations identify and prevent dangerous individuals from entering the U.S.
Program Details and Support: McCaul stated, “Bad actors like traffickers, terrorists, and transnational gang members may lie about their identity... but they can't fake biometrics.” Cuellar added, “The BITMAP Authorization Act will help us identify dangerous individuals earlier... and strengthen congressional oversight.”
Implementation and Oversight: The BITMAP program provides technical aid to foreign partners for collecting biometric data to detect high-threat individuals before they reach U.S. borders. The reintroduced act seeks to codify the program and enhance its oversight within the DHS, while allowing citizens to opt out of biometric data collection for entry-exit systems.
