Strengthening Airport ID Checks: Banning Certain Immigration Documents for Flights.
This bill introduces stricter identity verification rules at airports, prohibiting the use of specific immigration enforcement documents (like warrants or notices to appear) as valid identification for passing security checkpoints. Individuals presenting these prohibited documents will be immediately reported to immigration agencies and local police to check for violations of release terms. If a violation is found, the individual may be denied entry into the secure airport area, preventing them from boarding a flight.
Key points
Prohibits the use of specific immigration enforcement documents (e.g., warrants for arrest or removal orders) as valid identification at TSA checkpoints.
Mandates the collection of biometric information (such as fingerprints or facial photos) from individuals seeking entry who do not present a standard, recognized ID and whose U.S. nationality cannot be verified.
If a prohibited document is presented, TSA must notify immigration agencies (ICE, CBP) and local law enforcement, potentially leading to denial of access to the sterile area of the airport.
