HR 7172 United States House · 119th Congress

TRACK ICE Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to publicly share flight details within 72 hours for aircraft used by ICE, CBP, or the Coast Guard in immigration enforcement operations involving detention, deportation, or transporting individuals in custody. It mandates disclosure of specific data including departure/arrival times, airport codes, aircraft registration, number of detainees, and demographic information (nationality, age, family status, and restraints used). Private aircraft operators working directly with immigration enforcement agencies can no longer claim privacy for these flights, ending their eligibility to withhold such information. The law applies specifically to federally funded flights for immigration enforcement, not general aviation.
