Occurrences

The Family Reunification Act requires DNA testing of people claiming to have a familial connection with a child coming across the border, ultimately mandating the separation of the child if there’s not a positive match.

Luna introduced the Family Reunification Act, committing to a policy requiring DNA testing for claimed family units at the border and child separation when the test is not a match.

Evidence

Sec. 116 is titled "Collection of DNA and biometric information at the border" and requires the DHS Secretary to certify that CBP is "fully compliant with Federal DNA and biometric collection requirements at United States land borders."

H.R. 2 contained a border DNA/biometric collection provision, but the cited text does not specifically require DNA testing to verify claimed family relationships with children or mandate separation after a non-match.

Roll Call 209 was on passage of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. The status was Passed, 219 yea to 213 nay. The vote table lists Luna, Republican, Florida, as Yea.

Luna voted yes on H.R. 2, which was related border legislation containing a DNA/biometric collection section. This shows concrete support for related legislation, but not full fulfillment of the specific familial-DNA-plus-separation promise.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 2 as introduced May 2, 2023, passed/agreed to in the House on May 11, 2023, and latest action as House referral on December 17, 2024. The tracker status is Passed House.

The related bill Luna supported passed the House but did not become law in the 118th Congress, so it was at most an unsuccessful legislative effort rather than enacted delivery.

Assessments

partial unknown A for effort

Luna took a concrete federal legislative action by voting yes on H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, which included a border DNA/biometric collection provision. However, the cited provision only required DHS/CBP compliance with federal DNA and biometric collection requirements and does not appear to specifically require DNA testing to verify claimed family relationships with children or mandate separation after a non-match. The bill also passed only the House and did not become law. This supports partial credit for backing related legislation, but not full delivery of the specific promised outcome.
