The Application
The plaintiff contends that mandatory biometric collection without particularized suspicion constitutes a warrantless search in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and that the registration requirement impermissibly burdens due process rights of noncitizens. The government asserts its broad authority to regulate immigration and collect biometric data for national security purposes.
The Conclusion
The litigation is active and pending decision; no final ruling on the constitutional or administrative law challenges has been issued to date.
