Wyden’s oversight letter warns that DHS and DOJ’s expansion of DNA collection “may result in the over-policing of immigrant communities and deter them from seeking out essential services.” www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

The letter also demands justification for why DNA collection has expanded. And it seeks answers about who is being subjected to DNA collection, whether government agents are using coercive tactics, what happens to the samples after collection, and whether genetic data can be deleted.
