A 71-year-old Air Force veteran went to protest. He left in handcuffs — and the government kept his DNA. Dana Briggs was arrested, never convicted, charges dismissed. Yet his genetic data remains in federal custody. Now he's suing. Georgetown Law found ~2,000 U.S. citizens had DNA collected at border checkpoints — sometimes with no reason given. Refuse the swab? That's a crime too. As Trump's immigration crackdown expands, protesters nationwide face the same fate. Your DNA. Your relatives' DNA. Filed away forever. Is this America? 🧬🇺🇸#CivilRights #DNA #Protest #Immigration #ACLU #ConstitutionalRights #DHS #TrumpAdministration #FreeSpeech #Surveillance https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/nyregion/dna-collection-ice-arrests-lawsuit.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gVA.KWw7.D8LiLbQMmISU&smid=url-share
