Default I-862: Illegal Aliens on Commercial Airlines

National Border Patrol Council: 'We Stand Behind' Report of TSA Letting Illegal Immigrants on Plane Without ID

NBPC Statement on TSA Allowing Illegal Aliens to Fly

Published on July 11 2014

The National Border Patrol Council was recently notified that as recently as July 9, 2014, illegal aliens, who had been processed by Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector, were released with an I-862, Notice to Appear, and used that document as identification to board commercial aircraft at Laredo International Airport.

Border Patrol agents witnessed illegal aliens present the I-862s to Transportation Security Administration officers, who accepted the form, and cleared the illegal aliens through a security checkpoint. The Border Patrol agents notified the TSA officers that the I-862 is not a government issued form of identification. The TSA officer then notified a supervisor, who reviewed the documents, made copies, and told the Border Patrol agents that because the documents were issued by the Border Patrol that TSA was willing to accept them. Another supervisor looked over the documents and said they were going to forward them to their national headquarters for guidance.

Subsequent inquiries made by National Border Patrol Council representatives indicate that TSA in Laredo has been accepting these documents as valid identification to travel for several weeks. The I-862 is issued as part of an illegal alien's case file, contains no photograph, and has no security measures to prevent forgery or alterations. It does not positively identify an individual and could be reproduced on the most basic of home computers.

We stand behind the statements of Border Patrol agents and are confident that surveillance from the Laredo Airport will support these assertions. Any thorough investigation will show that TSA officers and supervisors were aware that the individuals were illegal aliens, had no valid identification, and were still cleared to fly. Our members, federal law enforcement agents, are willing to give sworn testimony as to what they witnessed.

I'd like to see ALPA, Apa, Swapa, etc and a4a issue a joint statement strongly opposed to this incredibly risky practice.

Don't hold your breath on that one. Even if they do, big whup! What's it going to do? How about issuing a statement from the pilot unions that they have insisted that no aircraft push back if the Cptn somehow finds out that one of the soles on board has cleared security with only this form?

Oh wait, that would take cahonnies. Nevermind.

Quite interesting. I've seen pilots get secondary screening (esp Canada)...this makes no sense.

Racist.





Why would alpa go against the President? Come on and do your part, it's a team effort to get them from the south Mexican border to the northern US Mexican boarder and then across the border, to a processing center and then on a bus and a plane and hopefully to the voting booth by November.

You think when you have multiple nations, a President, his party and the AFL CIO all on the same page that Lee Moak is going to complain about a safety violation?

Oh wait you knew this, you just baited me and I took the bait like a hungry big mouth bass.

Undocumented Democrats are going to get massive preference in all things. That's just how it works.
