The Trump Administration is planning to fast-track a new policy of compulsory facial recognition at the border, and including US citizens and permanent residents in its plans for the first time.

The move is outlined in a newly released list [PDF] of regulatory priorities for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and also includes a plan to restrict the use and availability of H1-B work visas, which are extensively used by tech companies to bring in overseas workers.
