End unethical DNA collection from migrant children

The mass collection and storage of DNA from migrant children in a criminal database is a disturbing violation of civil liberties and genetic privacy. Cataloging the genetic material of minors who have not committed any crimes sets a dangerous precedent of genetic surveillance and presumption of future criminality based solely on immigration status. This biometric dragnet treats every person crossing the border, including young children, as potential suspects without due process. Such indiscriminate DNA collection and storage raises significant ethical and legal concerns. It risks enabling expanded genetic profiling, discrimination, and potential misuse of this highly personal data in the future as policies and technologies evolve. Children as young as 4 years old are having their full genetic blueprints extracted and filed away indefinitely based merely on their immigration detention, violating principles of genetic privacy, consent, and the presumption of innocence. I urge you to put a halt to this unethical and likely unconstitutional program of harvesting and indefinitely storing migrant children's DNA. This practice exemplifies genetic overreach by treating vulnerable minors as de facto criminals based on their immigration status alone. It has no place in a society that values genetic privacy, equal protection under the law, and the rights of children. I implore you to end this disturbing program and delete all DNA data collected from minors who were never accused of any crime.
