    CBP is NOT collecting DNA from persons encountered under the following circumstances:

    Aliens lawfully in, or being processed for lawful admission into the United States;

    Aliens held at a Port of Entry during consideration of admissibility and not subject to further detention or proceedings;

    Aliens held in connection with maritime interdiction;
