TSA flagged a woman arrested by ICE at a San Fransico airport this week in information the agency gave to immigration officials.<\/p>\n
Videos of the aggressive arrest of Angelina Lopez-Jimenez\u00a0went viral<\/a> this week after President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0announced<\/a> on Sunday that he would be deploying ICE agents to airports to combat hours-long delays brought on by the partial<\/a> government shutdown.<\/p>\n Government documents obtained by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0show that TSA officials flagged both Lopez-Jimenez and her daughter, Wendy Godinez-Lopez, as persons the agency believed were issued deportation orders by a judge. TSA then shared this list, including the names and birth dates of travelers, with ICE, allowing immigration officials to more easily detain those flagged while in the airport.<\/p>\n Lopez-Jimenez, originally from Guatemala, entered the country illegally but has no criminal record. She was issued a deportation order in 2019 at a hearing she did not attend, though she appeared at other appointments in her hearing process.<\/p>\n DHS said in a statement<\/a> on Monday that Lopez-Jimenez and her daughter were \u201cillegal aliens\u201d and that ICE was working to deport them back to Guatemala. The statement accused her of resisting arrest. It is unclear whether Lopez-Jimenez was aware of her deportation order. The officers who arrested her were in plainclothes.<\/p>\n Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA), who represents the Bay Area district where Lopez-Jimenez lives, questioned the legality of TSA\u2019s information-sharing processes.<\/p>\n \u201cThe real story here is the way in which databases are being used,\u201d he said in an interview with the\u00a0Times. \u201cA mother and her daughter are detained, and within 36 hours, they\u2019re sent to Guatemala.\u201d<\/p>\n The practice of sharing information with ICE has been a point of contention<\/a> for federal agencies beyond TSA. A legal challenge to IRS and DHS data sharing remains ongoing, with a judge ruling<\/a> in February that the IRS broke the law \u201capproximately 42,695\u201d times by giving confidential information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n The post TSA Agents Tipped Off ICE To Arrest Mother At San Francisco Airport<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samuel Rigelhaupt\/Sipa USA via AP Images TSA flagged a woman arrested by ICE at a San Fransico airport…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[638,18251,106404,8347,101,103,102,106403,104,106,105,5173,106178],"class_list":["post-235305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-government-shutdown","tag-immigration-officials","tag-lopez-jimenez","tag-resisting-arrest","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-san-fransico-airport","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-tsa","tag-wendy-godinez-lopez"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
