Collection of migrants’ DNA has increased by 5,000% in three years in a ‘massive expansion of genetic surveillance’US immigration authorities are collecting and uploading the DNA information of migrants, including children, to a national criminal database, according to government documents released earlier this month.The database includes the DNA of people who were either arrested or convicted of a crime, which law enforcement uses when seeking a match for DNA collected at a crime scene.
