Bill overview
The Crime Doesn’t Fly Act of 2023 aims to protect non-U.S. citizens from being wrongly arrested at airports based on immigration documents. Specifically, the bill prevents Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers from using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrants – like those for arrest or deportation – as proof of identification during security screenings. This legislation ensures that only individuals being removed from the country under immigration law can be identified using these warrants. The bill seeks to reduce the risk of mistaken identity and unnecessary detention of foreign travelers.
