(Washington, D-C/KCCI) – Iowa U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson is proposing a bill that would require agents at the southern border to start fingerprinting migrant children younger than 14. Currently, border patrol agents aren’t allowed to fingerprint kids under the age of 14. Hinson, a Republican, represents Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District.

If passed, she says her bill can help immigration officials keep track of non-citizen children and protect them from getting caught in the trafficking system.
