Green International Airport. When it abruptly closed for renovations on July 6, 2020, the center left Rhode Islanders unable to conveniently schedule their required in-person interviews for Global Entry. Following the delegation\u2019s efforts to seek information and a timetable from the Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, today, the center is listed as open for business and once again ready to assist Rhode Islanders with their Global Entry applications.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that U.S. Customs and Border Protections listened to us and reopened the Global Entry Enrollment Center at T.F. Green International Airport after a more than 4-year closure,\u201d said the lawmakers. \u201cGlobal Entry is a critical program for frequent travelers and the ability to conduct the required interviews in-state will help reduce the burden on new and renewal applications. Today, as we celebrate the center\u2019s reopening, we stand ready to assist our constituents to make their international travel as safe, reliable, and convenient as possible.\u201d\n\nBACKGROUND\n\nOn July 6, 2020, the Global Entry Enrollment Center at T.F. Green International Airport closed for renovations, forcing Rhode Islanders to travel out of state to conduct their interviews.\n\nOn May 16, 2024, the Rhode Island congressional delegation sent a letter to Acting Commissioner of U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Troy Miller, requesting information on Rhode Island\u2019s Global Entry Enrollment Center. In their letter, the lawmakers expressed their disappointment that information has not been forthcoming on when residents can expect the center to reopen.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://magaziner.house.gov/media/press-releases/rhode-island-delegation-announces-reopening-global-entry-enrollment-center"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7437369786202908, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
