***** U.S. issues new entry and exit rules for foreigners, including Green Card holders *****

[JANASENA1]

The United States government has announced new entry and exit regulations requiring photographs of all non-citizens, including green card holder, as part of enhanced border security measures. The new rules, published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Federal Register on Friday, aim to leverage advanced facial recognition technology to strengthen national security and combat document fraud.

CBP said the initiative will “address the national security concerns arising from the threat of terrorism, the fraudulent use of legitimate travel documentation, aliens who remain in the United States beyond their period of authorized stay (overstays) or are present in the United States without being admitted or paroled.”

The agency’s filing specifies that photographs and biometric data will be collected at all entry and exit points: airports, seaports, and land crossings. While CBP already gathers fingerprints and images from visa holders and some residents, the new regulation extends mandatory data collection to all departures.

The measures are part of former President Donald Trump’s broader immigration crackdown. Though first proposed in 2021, Hindustan Times reports that the updated rule will officially take effect on 26 Dec, 2025, giving U.S. border officials authority to photograph non-citizens at any point of exit. The CBP also plans to expand biometric data collection to include individuals currently exempted from such measures, such as children under 14 and adults over 79.

CBP acknowledged implementation challenges, noting that “it was challenging to implement the system without designated, secure exit lanes at ports.” However, the agency stated that advancements in facial recognition now make comprehensive enforcement feasible.

According to the Trump administration, an integrated biometric entry-exit system will help the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identify visa overstays and individuals attempting to evade immigration laws. CBP said it will generate galleries of images linked to individuals, drawing from passport data, border checkpoints, and travel documents, to compare with real-time images at entry and exit points.

A public comment period on the rule will begin 27 Oct, and according to CBP, the system could be deployed nationwide within three to five years. The updated framework, officials say, represents a key step toward a “fully coordinated” border security system.

This has always been the case for all TTP card holders (NEXUS, Global Entry) at airports.
