US to Expand Biometric Tracking at Borders, Risking Entry Bans

US to Expand Biometric Tracking at Borders, Risking Entry Bans

The US government is making it so everyone who isn't a US citizen has to get their picture taken when they enter and leave the country.

This includes people visiting, living here with a green card, or those here illegally.

The new rule will use facial recognition to identify people and will apply to everyone, even children and seniors who were previously exempt.

The government says this helps with security and catching people who break the rules.

Some groups worry that the technology might make mistakes and cause problems for some people.

If you don't let them take your picture, you might not be allowed to enter the US.
