Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) announced a Senate inquiry into Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions at San Francisco International Airport, calling for transparency on how the Transportation Security Administration shares passenger data with immigration authorities.<\/p>\n
ICE Detentions Spark Senate Inquiry<\/p>\n
On Monday, the inquiry follows widely circulated videos showing a woman and her young daughter detained by ICE agents at the airport last week.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m launching an inquiry with @SenAlexPadilla on the alarming actions by ICE at San Francisco International Airport,” Schiff wrote on X.<\/p>\n
He added, “We must know what immigration data TSA is sharing with ICE and why. The last thing we need are more scenes like the one we witnessed last week.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “ICE agents shouldn’t be at our airports.”<\/p>\n
An image accompanying Schiff’s post noted that airport security officials have been sharing passenger information with immigration authorities, but the program received little public attention until the recent detention incident.<\/p>\n
Padilla echoed concerns about transparency, emphasizing the need to ensure that travelers’ rights are protected.<\/p>\n
