This bill establishes the Biometric Identification Transnational Migration Alert Program (BITMAP) within the Department of Homeland Security to identify and screen foreign nationals who may pose national security, border security, or terrorist threats before they reach the U.S. border. The program would coordinate with foreign governments and federal agencies to collect and share biometric and biographic data, provide training and equipment to partner countries, and compare foreign data against U.S. national security and terrorism databases. The bill includes congressional notification requirements, privacy protections for U.S. citizens, reporting and auditing provisions, and a six-year sunset clause.
