No TSA Data for ICE Act

This bill, known as the "No TSA Data for ICE Act," amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to impose significant restrictions on information sharing within the Department of Homeland Security. Specifically, it prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from directly or indirectly accessing or utilizing certain specified information to carry out functions of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The specified information includes data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and personally identifiable flight passenger data obtained from private sector entities. This provision aims to prevent the use of sensitive travel information for immigration or border enforcement purposes. Furthermore, the legislation addresses Trusted Traveler programs , such as PreCheck, Global Entry, and NEXUS. It explicitly prohibits the Secretary from denying, suspending, or early terminating an individual's enrollment in these programs based on their participation in an activity protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. This measure seeks to safeguard civil liberties by ensuring that engagement in constitutionally protected activities does not jeopardize an individual's ability to participate in expedited travel programs.
