🔥Secretary Kristi Noem: Colombian Minister of Foreign Affairs Laura Sarabia and I signed a Statement of Intent for Biometric Cooperation. This agreement will facilitate the sharing of biometric data between our nations to better identify and prevent criminals and terrorists from our crossing borders.

Biometric data sharing has already led to over 1,700 deportations and 1,000 arrests.

Together, we are committed to strengthening regional security and disrupting criminal and terrorist movements across the Western Hemisphere. #DHS #HomelandSecurity
