U.S. to photograph all noncitizens entering and exiting country

The Department of Homeland Security announced new regulations requiring photographs of all immigrants and noncitizens entering and exiting the U.S., effective immediately. This move extends existing requirements for certain groups to provide biometric data such as fingerprints and photos at specific locations. The regulation aims to create a comprehensive data collection system for noncitizens across all entry and exit points in the country. It is part of broader efforts by President Donald Trump's administration to expand data collection on immigrants and foreign nationals within the U.S., including new immigrant registry rules and use of taxpayer data for enforcement purposes.
