Wait, did you heard about the new US immigration rule that just dropped? Which is, if you are an NRI student or tourist planning to fly to United States soon, the US government will now scan your face every time you enter or leave the country. Yes, the US Customs and Border Protection is expanding its facial recognition system to track nearly all non-US citizens entering and exiting the country. This new rule, effective soon, mandates photograph collection and facial data collection for all foreign nationals, including children and seniors, to enhance national security and combat fraud. Meaning, whether you are a child, senior citizen, student, or even a green card holder, your photo and facial data will be captured at airports, seaports, and even land borders. The goal? To track entries and exits, stop fake passport generation, detect overstays, and boost the national security. This decision was published in Federal Register on October 27th, and the regulation will come into force 60 days after the publication, which is basically by the end of this year.
