      More out in the open maybe but the Feds have been building a DNA database on Americans for years, It’s probably as much about familial DNA than anything else.

      I personally suspect that they were behind the hacks of commercial databases like „23 and me“ but I doubt we will ever see any proof.

      It’s wild that literally no one will help their constituents. The GOP I’m in disbelief at how they just don’t give one fuck about the people they supposedly serve

      Where the fuck am I living? This country is unrecognizable

      I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t want 4th grade graduate, sub 60 IQ, neo nazi thugs who’ve had a weekend of training in a middle school parking lot and are now, somehow federal (civil) law enforcement coming anywhere near me with any kind of medical or diagnostic paraphernalia. ICE and DHS are just fucking gross and a dark stain on our nation.

      At first I read they were taking NDAs signatures from protestors.

      This is my field – forensic anthropology in genetics with an emphasis on forensic corruption.

      I already know they’ve breached CODIS (and probably the entire CODIS database system – not just the convicted criminals section), but their other „secure“ genetic databases (like the employees themselves).

      [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_DNA_Index_System#Database_structure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_DNA_Index_System#Database_structure)

      >The CODIS database contains several different indexes for the storage of DNA profile information. For assistance in criminal investigations, three indexes exist: the offender index, which contains DNA profiles of those convicted of crimes; the arrestee index, which contains profiles of those arrested for crimes pursuant to the laws of the particular state; and the forensic index, which contains profiles collected from a crime scene.[^([6])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_DNA_Index_System#cite_note-Indexes-6) Additional indexes, such as the unidentified human remains index, the missing persons index, and the biological relatives of missing persons index, are used to assist in identifying missing persons.[^([6])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_DNA_Index_System#cite_note-Indexes-6) Speciality indexes also exist for other specimens that do not fall into the other categories. These indexes include the staff index, for profiles of employees who work with the samples, and the multi-allelic offender index, for single-source samples that have three or more [alleles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele) at two or more [loci](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)).[^([7])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_DNA_Index_System#cite_note-Other_Indexes-7)

      All of this is illegal. These people have not been charged or arrested for a felony or anything that would invoke a DNA test. They have not consented to giving DNA samples – and there’s zero way that they could even consent under these circumstances.

      What about probable cause? Or the „crime“ itself? Is engaging in one’s first amendment rights to free speech, assembly, and petitioning the government enough to trigger an arrest and DNA swab test?

      If these people aren’t being fully processed and given their Miranda Rights, then why are they being forced to give a DNA sample and fingerprints?

      These agent are not trained to do DNA testing. The samples are all but trash given both the problematic nature of how the sample was obtained, how much potential contamination can occur, chain of evidence issues, where these samples end up, and what is done with them.

      Are they going into CODIS or a private database controlled by a very select group by the DOJ or ICE? Is the mere presence of a sample hit in that database enough to presume a kind of „guilt“ if a person is in it?

      What if the person is a juvenile?

      How is this database being labeled – ANTIFA terrorist list? Political activists? The Trump Administration DNA profiling and familial match searches dot com?

      Who has access to these samples and the database? The Government? Peter Thiel? ICE? DHS? CODIS? State governments? A biotech company?

      Where will this stuff end up in 5 or 20 years from now? What happens to the people in that system? Will they be marked for extrajudicial oversight and investigation by the DOJ or FBI or their own state police?

      We do not know any of these things.

      This is also not including the DNA samples that all of the people being picked by ICE are also being forced to give.

      And they will see all those arrested have bad bitch behavior in their DNA 💅🏼

      I propose that once Trump is out of office we go after ICE and CBP pensions. Call it DOGE V2. Hit them where it hurts the most… they won’t understand much of anything else.

      They’ll study the DNA and learn how to be real men rather than submissive cucks.

    19. OtherUserCharges on

      That’s fine, but every single ice agent should have a dna test run to see if there are any unsolved crimes or rape kits they might be connected to.

      I’d wax poetic about what should happen to any federal whatever who attempts to do this, but I’d get banned and Spez would happily hand my IP address over to The Stain’s goons.

      ICE are a bunch of no-talent Incels that would be unemployable if it weren’t for ICE

    25. Big-Selection702 on

      I’ve got jars of ‘DNA’ that I’d love to ‘share’ with the nazis

      We will clone our Protesters so that they can be the voters we need to win the next election. The Save Act will require DNA matching at the poll site to process your vote. Gattaca!

      Gear up. Group up. Train up. Send these fascists to their god.

      –That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

      Which I guarantee they plan to use to manufacture evidence and plant DNA at crimes so they can have an excuse to lock them up in a concentration camp. It’s going to be hilarious when they inevitably get caught when someone is live streaming/filming elsewhere, or is at an event, while the so called crime was committed. Today’s information age has been a thorn in their propaganda side. It will continue to be so.

      Maybe that crazy ICE budget is to cover the payments for all the Lawsuits?
