The PRINTS Act requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect fingerprints from children under 14 who are suspected of being human trafficking victims when they enter the United States. The bill also creates a new federal crime making it illegal for adults to knowingly use unrelated minors to gain entry into the country, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison. The Department of Homeland Security must share fingerprints with the Department of Health and Human Services for unaccompanied children transferred between agencies and must publicly report monthly on apprehensions of suspected child traffickers and annually to Congress on the number of minors fingerprinted. The legislation targets human trafficking networks that exploit children as part of smuggling operations and aims to give law enforcement tools to identify and prosecute traffickers while tracking trafficking patterns at the border.
