Trump, #ICE set to be handed access to Australians’ biometric data, ID documents

“The Trump administration and agencies like the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( #ICE) militia currently terrorising US cities will be quietly given direct access to Australians’ #biometric information and ID documents by the Albanese government, in response to a US demand for tighter security for all countries with Visa Waiver Program arrangements.”

I don’t believe this has started yet but it looks like it’s on the cards as the deadline is end of this year 😕
