A massive aviation industry clearinghouse that processes data for twelve billion passenger flights per year is selling that information to the Trump administration amid the White House’s new immigration crackdown, according to documents reviewed by the Lever.
The data — including “full flight itineraries, passenger name records, and financial details, which are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain” for past and future flights — is fed into a secretive government intelligence operation called the Travel Intelligence Program and provided to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies, records reveal.
Details of this program were outlined in procurement documents released Wednesday by ICE, which is a division of the Department of Homeland Security.

You pay them money for a service but that ain’t enough 🤡
They try to upsell every little thing. I’m surprised that isn’t an option - “don’t sell my data to ICE: $100”
Tell me something we didn’t already know. Fuck I could live in the remote… fuck it you can’t be hidden or private anymore
OK… We all knew this in 2004.
Is it suddenly more outrageous now?
It was bad in 2004 too, people just didn’t realize that ICE was the Gestapo back then.
The mask is off. That’s all.
Communities weren’t gathering around women trying to protect their baby while I stretch to drag them away.
Things aren’t quite the same as they were in 2004.
I don’t like that.
Yet another reason not to travel.
