Trump administration to start DNA tests for migrants at southern border.
The Trump administration will start asking migrants crossing the southern border to take DNA tests as part of new efforts to crack down on fraud, Homeland Security officials said Wednesday.
On a call with reporters, officials said testing will be voluntary and the samples will only be used to determine family relationships, not to prosecute. From October 2018 to March of this year, authorities identified more than 1,000 cases of fraudulent families who were stopped at the southern border. In the month of April, 100 suspected families were investigated by Homeland Security officers who found evidence of fraud in 29 of those cases.
