The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented a new requirement for migrants without sufficient identification to undergo facial recognition technology before boarding domestic flights. This decision comes amidst ongoing concerns about screening procedures from various parties, including Republicans.
According to a TSA statement, all adult travelers, including noncitizens awaiting immigration proceedings in the U.S. after security vetting, must present acceptable identification to access secure airport areas for travel. If a noncitizen lacks proper ID, they must undergo additional screening and facial recognition technology to verify their identity using Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records.
