No TSA Data for ICE Act

The **No TSA Data for ICE Act** amends Title VII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. It restricts how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) uses specific traveler and flight data for immigration and border enforcement. It also prohibits DHS from revoking or denying enrollment in Trusted Traveler programs based on an individual exercising their First Amendment rights.

* **Federal Agencies:** Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). * **Travelers:** Air passengers and individuals enrolled in or applying for federal Trusted Traveler programs, including TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, SENTRI, FAST, NEXUS, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Travel Card program.

* **Data Access Restrictions:** The Secretary of Homeland Security is prohibited from directly or indirectly accessing or using "specified information" to carry out duties for CBP or ICE. This includes prohibitions against using tools or applications like Mobile Fortify to access this data. * **Definition of Restricted Data:** "Specified information" is defined as: 1. Any data that originates from the TSA. 2. Flight passenger information containing personally identifiable information (PII) acquired from commercial data brokers. * **Trusted Traveler Protections:** DHS is forbidden from denying, suspending, or ending a traveler's participation in any covered Trusted Traveler program solely because that person participated in activities protected by the First Amendment (such as free speech or peaceful assembly).

The provided summary does not mention any specific funding, appropriations, taxes, or user fees associated with this bill.

* The summary does not outline any specific exceptions or emergency waivers that would allow ICE or CBP to access TSA or commercial data broker information under special conditions. * The bill's data restrictions specifically target information used for CBP and ICE functions rather than all federal government activities.

This bill prevents border and immigration enforcement officers (CBP and ICE) from using TSA records or commercially purchased flight records, and stops DHS from taking away program benefits like TSA PreCheck or Global Entry due to a person's First Amendment-protected activities.
