Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The TRACK ICE Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to publicly disclose detailed information about flights used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to transport detainees. Within 72 hours of each deportation or detention-related flight, the government would have to publish data including departure and arrival times, airport codes, aircraft identification numbers, the number of detainees on board, and demographic information such as nationality, age, family composition, and types of physical restraints used. The bill also prohibits private aircraft operators contracted for these immigration enforcement flights from using Federal Aviation Administration privacy programs that would otherwise shield their operations from public view. The legislation affects any aircraft operation that receives federal funding and is used for detention, deportation, or transport of individuals in DHS custody in connection with immigration enforcement. No specific funding or implementation timeline is specified beyond the 72-hour reporting requirement.
