SECURE Flights Act of 2023
This bill requires TSA to deny airport security access to travelers presenting certain immigration enforcement documents (like deportation warrants or "Notice to Appear" forms) at checkpoints. It mandates TSA to notify immigration agencies when such documents are presented and to collect biometric data (fingerprints, photos) from non-citizens without valid ID who cannot verify U.S. citizenship. Travelers departing for deportation are exempt from entry restrictions. The law directly affects individuals under immigration supervision attempting to access secured airport areas using prohibited documents.
