Key Background<\/h2>\n

ICE is under pressure to deliver on President Donald Trump\u2019s deportation agenda with a goal of around 3,000 arrests a day<\/u>. Recent arrests at airports reflect an expansion of the arrangement between the TSA and ICE, which are both under the purview of DHS. Plain-clothes ICE agents are increasingly targeting foreign travelers who have overstayed U.S. visas, confronting them at check-in counters and arrival gates, with the New York Times noting \u201csome of the arrests have occurred quietly, while others have happened as angry fellow passengers filmed the encounters.\u201d Some immigration attorneys told CNN<\/u> that clients who had entered the U.S. legally and were in the asylum process were among those detained. As Forbes reported in April<\/u>, TSA provided ICE with tens of thousands of traveler records\u2014far more than was previously known\u2014since Trump returned to the presidency. The agreement appears to contradict acting TSA Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill\u2019s sworn congressional testimony<\/u> in January that TSA does not \u201csend the information to ICE; we help ICE check against [TSA] information.\u201d \u201cTSA is proud to support our DHS partners in our shared mission to secure the homeland,\u201d a TSA spokesperson told Forbes, adding the agency does not share personal identification information of all passengers with ICE.<\/p>\n

Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis really is different. This is [ICE] mining that TSA data, looking for people flying domestically in order to really just pad those [arrest] stats,\u201d John Sandweg, former acting director of ICE under the Obama administration, told CNN News Central, adding that ICE did not use the tactic during Trump\u2019s first administration.<\/p>\n

How Many Visitors Overstay Their U.S. Visas Each Year?<\/h2>\n

For fiscal year 2024, 1% of non-immigrant visitors overstayed their visas, representing 482,954 people. While the CPB is yet to release data for last year, the Congressional Budget Office estimated<\/u> that non-immigrant overstays were flat in fiscal year 2025, the first year of Trump\u2019s second term, with 260,000 \u201cpeople who entered legally in a temporary status but overstayed their term of residency.\u201d DHS sent Forbes a statement virtually identical to one shared in April, blaming former President Joe Biden for allowing \u201caliens in our country illegally to jet around our country\u201d and insisting the Trump administration \u201cis working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said he had a \u201cplan to initiate\u201d the removal of customs screening from international airports<\/u> in the U.S. serving Democratic-led sanctuary cities\u2014a proposal that has yet to be enacted after being met with widespread opposition from the travel industry.<\/p>\n
