Larson Announces Introduction of Bill Immediately Ending TSA Coordination with ICE

Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) announced the introduction of the No TSA Data for ICE Act outside the Hartford ICE field office. It would immediately cut off the coordination between the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that enabled recent covert operations at Bradley—where residents were snatched out of security lines by unidentified ICE agents. The bill would also prevent the Department of Homeland Security from retaliating against critics of ICE and the Trump Administration by revoking their status in trusted traveler programs, including TSA PreCheck and Global Entry.
