Migrants recently released by Border Patrol at the Tucson International Airport were taken through a “special” security screening line set up by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), specifically for migrants, many without any identification.
Several regular travelers were reportedly told to exit the special “migrant security line” because they were not non-citizens.
The migrants were allegedly brought to the airport by non-government migrant shelter volunteers who escorted groups of migrants through the terminal prior to takeoff.
The illegals were guided to the ticketing and baggage area and subsequently directed to the TSA security checkpoint for “non-U.S. citizens without passports.”
According to the current TSA regulations, adult passengers 18 and older must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint to travel.
Acceptable identification listed by the TSA includes state driver’s licenses, U.S. passports, DHS trusted traveler cards, U.S. Department of Defense ID, Legal Permanent Resident cards, and foreign passports, among other similar government-issued photo-bearing identification cards.
“In coordination with its DHS counterparts, TSA has identified acceptable alternate identification for use in special circumstances at the checkpoint,” TSA states at the bottom.
