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.
