DHS/CBP/PIA-070 Processing Individuals Subject to Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is tasked with safeguarding America’s borders while enhancing the nation’s global economic competitiveness by enabling legitimate trade and travel. As of February 2021, there were approximately 25,000 individuals enrolled in Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) outside of the United States awaiting adjudication of their removal proceedings. CBP will leverage technology solutions, including facial recognition technology, to verify MPP enrollment and case status, and streamline these individuals’ processing into the United States. CBP is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to assess the privacy risks and mitigations associated with the biometric and biographic information collected to process individuals enrolled in MPP.
