Trump administration shares names of all US air travelers with ICE authorities

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Trump administration is sharing the names of all U.S. air travelers with immigration authorities, dramatically widening efforts to use passenger data to track down people it wants to deport.

The media outlet on Friday said the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been giving a list of travelers' names to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) several times a week since March.

"ICE can then match the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and send agents to the airport to detain those people," the NYT noted, adding that it wasn't immediately known how many arrests have been made "as a result of the collaboration."

Citing documents, the NYT said the campaign led to the arrest of Any Lucía López Belloza, a 19-year-old college student who was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport on November 20 when she tried to board a flight to surprise her family in Texas. She deported to Honduras two days later.

And I have plenty of words, most of which would net me a visit from the suits.

4. ArtIV.S2.C1.13 Right to Travel and Privileges and Immunities Clause

ArtIV.S2.C1.13 Right to Travel and Privileges and Immunities Clause

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1:

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

The Supreme Court has long recognized the right to travel from one state to another under the Privileges and Immunities Clause,1 as well as other constitutional provisions.2 For example, the Court held that a state could not constitutionally limit access to medical care to its own residents, and deny access to nonresidents, without interfering with the right to travel.3

In Saenz v. Roe, the Court characterized the constitutional right to travel as having at least three different components:

It protects [1] the right of a citizen of one State to enter and to leave another State, [2] the right to be treated as a welcome visitor rather than an unfriendly alien when temporarily present in the second State, and, [3] for those travelers who elect to become permanent residents, the right to be treated like other citizens of that State.4
While the Court did not expressly identify the constitutional basis of the first component, it noted that the Articles of Confederation’s privileges and immunities clause explicitly protected the free ingress and regress to and from any other State.5 As for the second component of the right to travel, the Court found it to be expressly protected by the text of the Constitution through the Privileges and Immunities Clause.6 Saenz connected the third component of the right to travel to the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause.7

I'm worried that too many of us have been far too slow to object to erosions of our speech, privacy, and due process rights

...it wouldn't take too much effort for the regime to follow trans people, especially into states where we are prohibited from using public restrooms.

I remember when Americans took pride in not being like Russia or East Germany, where "internal passports" were required.

This information sharing combined with cell phone data inspections and seizures ought to bankrupt most of the rest.

I will stay in California and will not fly or be a tourist.

It's too dangerous!

Now we just have confirmation of the fact.
But why arrest people who are leaving the country already?
Why not just bar them from re-entry *IF* there's probable cause?
