Let's Stop DNA Testing Detained Children

Over the last few months, the Trump Administration separated nearly 3,000 immigrant children from their families. Now they're getting reunited — but at the cost of their lifelong privacy.

Sign now to protect immigrant children from getting their personal data collected by the government.

The Department of Health and Human Services is performing DNA testing on immigrant kids to return them to their parents. Some are as young as two months old and are nowhere close to old enough to consent.

Officials say it's to make sure their families are who they say they are, rather than human traffickers. But advocates worry the government may use these DNA records to keep tabs on these children for the rest of their lives.

Immigrants in this country have been under surveillance for far too long, and they need U.S. citizens to use their privilege to support them. Join the movement to demand the Trump Administration stop DNA testing innocent children immediately.
