Requires government to share details about immigration flights and passengers.
This bill would make flight information public for planes used in immigration enforcement. It would require the Department of Homeland Security to share details about these flights and the people on board within 72 hours. Private companies flying for immigration enforcement would also lose their ability to keep flight details private if they get federal money.
Today, private aircraft owners or operators conducting immigration operations can often keep their flight information private. The Department of Homeland Security is also not explicitly required to share detailed flight and detainee data for these operations. If this bill passes, private aircraft used for immigration enforcement with federal funding would no longer be able to hide their flight details, and the Department of Homeland Security would have to publish detailed flight and aggregated detainee information within 72 hours of each operation.
