'This is an invasion of the privacy of migrants and their family members,' said immigration advocacy group Families Belong Together.
The Trump administration's plan to collect DNA from detained migrants and track them in a national criminal database has sparked outrage, with lawmakers and rights groups alike condemning the bid as a violation of migrants' rights.
Condemning the move, the House Homeland Security Committee warned that"not only does it criminalize migrants who are fleeing violence and persecution, but it also propagates the abuse of mass surveillance." In her own statement, Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee condemned the plan to test the DNA of people"fleeing violence and hardship" as"absolutely disgusting," before asking Americans not to"look away."
