1. The first paragraph of a news article should answer the questions who, what, where and when. List the who, what, where and when of this news item. (NOTE: The remainder of a news article provides details on the why and/or how.)

2. What will DHS do with the DNA samples?

3. Describe the earlier “rapid DNA” program that began earlier this year.

4. What is the purpose of this new DNA program? Be specific.

5. What did the officials say about DNA rules under the Bush and Obama Justice Departments?

6. What do you think? Is implementing a plan to take DNA samples from all people entering the country illegally a good way to identify them, and to protect U.S. citizens, or is it a violation of the migrants’ “rights” (and if so, rights under which law?)  Explain your answer.

7. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police can take DNA samples from anybody under arrest for any crime, regardless of whether DNA is relevant to their arrest. (This was in a case regarding an American citizen.) Does this change your answer to #6? Why or why not?
