The Trump administration’s Transportation Security Administration is reportedly giving immigration officials details of all air travelers as part of the president’s push to carry out an unprecedented mass deportation campaign.

As part of the program, the TSA shares the data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement multiple times per week, according to The New York Times.

Individuals in the TSA data who were later found in ICE databases had a high rate of eventually being arrested and deported, a former ICE official told the outlet.

The data-sharing program appears to have led to the deportation of Any Lucía López Belloza, 19, a Honduran who was arrested at Boston Logan Airport last month and sent to her home country, which she hadn’t seen since she was a child, The NYT found. The Trump administration has confirmed such efforts are underway.

6. LOL

being able to trace your lineage back many generations, only proves YOUR relatives were directly responsible for the Genocide of 30-60 Million Indigenous native Americans who are, (were) the only true "native" inhabitants........

Maybe they should have had ICE, and a Border Patrol.....

Oh, and don't forget the original HUGE territory of Mexico, that is now part of the U.S.A.

Texas, New Mexico Arizona, California, Nevada, half of Colorado........ALL WERE MEXICO AS LATE AS 1851........

Apply for an American passport, and only use that as ID for the TSA

5. I may not fit the MOLD of an immigrant, but nor do I.....

like the idea of my information being in the hands of ICE,

After my trip to Hawaii, I may reconsider any future trips via flying. This will surely call for a halt in airline travel regardless if one is a citizen or not based on one's name, ethnicity, age, etc.

I have a boatload of documents to prove who I am. But many may not be so lucky as to have them.
