Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) introduced the No TSA Data for ICE Act, a new bill that would prevent the two agencies from coordinating to enforce the Trump administration\u2019s mass deportation agenda. In a dramatic violation of privacy rights, the Transportation and Security Administration is sharing passenger names, birth dates, and other data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leading to a surge of arrests at airports. ICE agents are targeting immigrants in the process of changing status, including those waiting for visa extensions, with employment authorization documents, or recently married to a U.S. citizen.\n\nA Freedom of Information Act lawsuit obtained an information-sharing agreement between TSA and ICE from May 2025, exposing that acting TSA Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill lied in her testimony before Congress.\n\n\u201cTSA is complicit in ICE expanding its chaos and cruelty to target our communities in our airports and has been openly lying about it,\u201d said Tlaib. \u201cThrough an information-sharing agreement signed in 2025, TSA is readily offering up our immigrant residents to suffer at the hands of ICE agents so they can fulfill their daily arrest quota. One source from ICE even said it makes for \u2018easy targets\u2019 at airports\u2014a disgusting exploitation of immigrants in status limbo. Immigrants should be able to safely fly in this country without the fear of arrest or deportation.\u201d\n\nThe 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. DHS is currently being sued by three U.S. citizens who lost Global Entry status after filming ICE activity.\n\n\u201cWhen people fly, they should be able to trust that TSA won\u2019t divulge their sensitive information or use it for political retaliation,\u201d said Tlaib. \u201cTSA has broken that trust in a gross violation of people\u2019s First Amendment rights. This data sharing should terrify all of us. It does nothing to make us safer, but rather endangers the basic rights of all Americans and worsens our mass surveillance crisis.\u201d\n\n\u201cHanding travelers\u2019 private information over to immigration agents isn\u2019t about safety or security. It\u2019s about turbocharging the already violent and deadly immigration enforcement happening in real time across the country that has claimed the lives of neighbors and fathers like Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero,\u201d said Juliana Macedo do Nascimento, Deputy Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at United We Dream. \u201cAs immigration enforcement exploits databases, expands surveillance, and targets travelers across the country, Congress has a mandate to protect the safety and rights of the American people from the administration\u2019s growing overreach and put an end to the cycle of tragedy that follows when communities are forced to live under fear. We urge Congress to pass the No TSA Data for ICE Act now.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Trump administration continues to expand and entrench its mass deportation campaign against non-citizens with near zero concern for existing laws, including constitutional rights and obligatory international norms,\u201d said Brad Parker, Associate Director of Policy at the Center for Constitutional Rights. \u201cThe No TSA Data for ICE Act is a simple, practical measure to protect non-citizen asylum seekers and block the targeting of individuals because they oppose authoritarian policies of the Trump administration.\u201d\n\nThe No TSA Data for ICE Act is cosponsored by 25 members of Congress: U.S. Reps. Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03), Andr\u00e9 Carson (IN-07), Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07), Jes\u00fas \u201cChuy\u201d Garc\u00eda (IL-04), Sylvia R. Garcia (TX-29), Adelita S.
