How worrying is it that Trump is so interested in people's DNA?

DHS is required to take DNA from anyone the agency detains, even very briefly. In the immigration context, “detention” can mean anything from brief delay at an airport to months or years of incarceration, and it can happen to anyone whom a single ICE or CBP agent thinks might be in violation of immigration laws (something about which ICE and CBP agents are often wrong, as evidenced by their track record of deporting U.S. citizens). https://truthout.org/articles/biden-is-about-to-hand-over-a-vast-and-unconstitutional-dna-database-to-trump/

Maybe he's open to that. Both maybe?

The article says he's taking it more from immigrants - but I don't know who is an immigrant in the states. They don't mean not native Americans I'm sure.
And sharing the DNA with the police.

It has a bad feel to it
