Genetic privacy erodes as millions of DNA profiles are entered into US database In May 2024, researchers at Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy & Technology released a sprawling report on how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had quietly built one of the most expansive DNA surveillance systems in American history. What began as a rule change in the waning days of Donald Trump’s first administration had by then spiraled into a massive dragnet. More than 1.5 million genetic profiles were funneled into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) in just four years, dwarfing the pace of criminal law enforcement collection. The report warned that immigration powers were being twisted into a tool for population-scale genetic monitoring, with people of color disproportionately swept up into the system.

NYPD turns public housing Internet program into surveillance network The New York Police Department (NYPD) has quietly begun wiring cameras at scale in public housing into its real-time surveillance network, sparking a political battle over privacy, transparency, and the use of digital-equity infrastructure as a policing tool. By tapping the broadband lines of the city’s Big Apple Connect program, officers are now able to watch New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents through a live feed connected to NYPD’s Domain Awareness System (DAS), a move officials say will speed investigations, but which critics warn turns public housing into a testing ground for expanded government monitoring. Originally designed as a counterterrorism platform, DAS now aggregates CCTV, license-plate readers, 911 calls, complaint, arrest and warrant data, and other NYPD databases, and can surface linked records about people, locations, and vehicles.
