The United States is funding and deploying a distributed biometric identification network across Central and South America — capturing fingerprints, facial images, and iris scans of migrants at successive checkpoints before they reach the US border. This represents a landmark expansion of global identity surveillance infrastructure, with governments sharing biometric data across borders in a federated system that makes individuals permanently identifiable, searchable, and flaggable anywhere along a route. Scripture warns of a coming global system in which no one can buy, sell, or move without being known to ruling authorities — Revelation 13 describes a world order of total identification and control that such infrastructure directly prefigures.
