The US will photograph foreigners entering and leaving to create a facial recognition database

Dmytro Dzhugalyk Author of news on Mezha.Media. I write about what I am actively interested in, namely technology, games and cinema.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is implementing new rules that will allow it to photograph any person who is not a U.S. citizen entering or leaving the country. This is reported by Engadget.

In this way, CBP wants to collect enough data for facial recognition. Customs and Border Protection, along with the Department of Homeland Security, want to combat terrorist threats, fraudulent use of travel documents and any overstayers, according to federal government filings.

The filing states that CBP “will implement an integrated, automated entry-exit data system to match records, including biographical data and biometric data, of aliens entering and exiting the United States.”

The service already has the power to request a photo and fingerprints from anyone entering the country, but with the new rules it will also be able to request a photo of those leaving.

The photos taken “will create galleries of images linked to individuals, including photos taken by border officials and photos from passports or other travel documents.” The gallery will also be used for comparison with photos taken at entry and exit points.

The new rules will enter into force on December 26, 2025. In addition, CBP will also need some time to implement a system that can handle the additional workload. The service also states that “a biometric entry-exit system could be fully implemented at all commercial airports and seaports for both entry and exit within the next three to five years.”
