Texas HB1072 mandates the creation of a database for children suspected of being unlawfully present in the U.S.

HB1072 requires the Texas Department of Public Safety to establish a database for storing fingerprint records and other information of children suspected of being unlawfully present in the U.S. Employees working on Operation Lone Star or similar operations must detain such children, obtain their fingerprints, and conduct wellness interviews to ensure their safety. The database will be used to investigate the frequency of unlawful entries by these children. The department must also set up procedures to prevent unauthorized access and release of the database's information.
