New Biometric Rules at US Borders
Update: 2025-12-26
Description
New immigration rules from the Department of Homeland Security introduce expanded biometric screening at all U.S. entry and exit points, targeting green card holders from nineteen high-risk countries. The nationwide biometric system will capture photos, fingerprints, or iris scans of every non-U.S. citizen, aiming to combat fraud, catch visa overstays, and enhance national security. The rollout begins at major airports and will expand to land and sea ports over the next three to five years, addressing backlogs in legal immigration and potential delays for green card holders from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Haiti, and Cuba.
