Realigning Mobile Phone Biometrics for American Privacy Protection Act

HR 7124 prohibits the use of specific mobile biometric apps (Mobile Fortify and Mobile Identify) outside U.S. ports of entry, restricting them solely for border identification. It requires Homeland Security to remove these apps from all non-Department devices, ban sharing with other agencies, and destroy U.S. citizens' captured biometric data (photos/fingerprints) within 12 hours of collection at ports of entry. The bill directly affects U.S. citizens whose biometric data is collected during border processing. Key mechanisms include mandatory app removal, remote deactivation of unauthorized installations, and strict data destruction timelines.
