flag The U.S. will expand facial recognition to track all non-citizens entering and exiting via airports and seaports starting Dec. 26, 2025, including those under 14 and over 79.

flag The U.S. is expanding facial recognition technology to track non-citizens entering and exiting the country, starting December 26, 2025, under a new federal regulation. flag The rule removes age exemptions, requiring biometric screening for travelers under 14 and over 79, and allows collection of additional data like fingerprints or DNA. flag The move aims to strengthen border security, reduce visa overstays and passport fraud, and fulfill a 1996 mandate for an automated entry-exit system. flag While facial recognition is already used at air entry points, exit screening will expand to all commercial airports and seaports within three to five years. flag Privacy advocates have raised concerns over accuracy, particularly for Black and minority individuals, citing a 2024 U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report.
