Reform Immigration Through Biometrics Act

Introduced·4/20/26

Reform Immigration Through Biometrics Act mandates a report on U.S. Customs and Border Protection's biometric entry and exit data system.

The Reform Immigration Through Biometrics Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The report must evaluate the implementation of an integrated biometric entry and exit data system, including its impact on wait times, audits of devices, and consultations with the private sector. It also assesses the system's effects on legitimate travel, counterterrorism, and visa violations. The report must not include information on U.S. citizens except for privacy protections related to facial recognition.
