TSA allowing illegal migrants to fly without proper documents

The federal agency tasked with overseeing security at transportation hubs has been violating its own policy by allowing migrants who have been released from federal custody onto flights despite not having required documents, according to several Department of Homeland Security officials.

...
A TSA spokesperson initially told the Washington Examiner migrants were allowed to board flights if they could present the document they are given when they apply for asylum. The Notice To Appear, known by DHS as Form I-862, is a paper that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will give to a person who has passed a credible fear screening and will have his or her asylum case decided by a federal judge as many as five years down the road.

TSA said the court order served as the individual’s identification because that person had already gone through a background check while in custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ICE, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

However, a USCIS official said TSA’s knowledge of protocol was wrong and that the latter agency would not provide any type of travel authorization document to a person who has passed a credible fear screening. The official said the NTA has one purpose and that was to tell recipients when to show up for court.


Apparently this has been going on for 6 months now.

What do you do when the government doesn't follow it's own laws? There's absolutely too much of this going on.
Seriously?? Meanwhile I always get dragged into the little room to be violated for no reason at all and end up nearly missing my flight. Every effing time.

TSA is a tRump admin agency.

Contact tRump with your concerns.

Maybe he'll respond with another of his brilliant shut-downs.

Asylum seekers would apply for asylum at an embassy in their home country, not after crossing the border illegally.

Your own link seems to say the court order is considered proper id. Also, contrary to your claim in the title, these people are not illegal migrants, but legal ones.

Isn't is important to separate the illegal ones from the legal ones, or are we now lumping all immigrants in the same bucket.

I fly literally 50 weeks a year and have for the past ~10 years. I've never been in the "little room" once. Why are you so shady?

This is P&OC, we don't let trivial things like facts get in the way of a good rant. This your first day?
