US ICE Receives Air Passenger Data for Deportation Efforts

US ICE Receives Air Passenger Data for Deportation Efforts

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is getting data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) about people flying in the US.

This data is used to find people who might need to be deported.

One example is a college student named Any Lucía López Belloza, who was arrested at an airport and sent back to Honduras.

The TSA usually checks passenger information for security reasons, but now they are also sharing it with immigration officials.

This has raised some concerns because it's a new way of doing things and can cause delays for travelers.

The student's family moved to the US when she was young, and she was studying business in college.

Her case has brought attention to this new program.
