Transparency requirement regarding immigrant detention flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
This bill requires the Metropolitan Airports Commission to increase transparency regarding flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport that carry passengers being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Specifically, it mandates that the airport operator notify the commission of these flights and provides details on the number of detained passengers, including minors, along with flight schedules and routes. To further ensure public oversight, the commission must install a live-streaming camera at the relevant terminal to broadcast the loading and unloading of these flights and submit monthly reports to state legislators. These provisions apply directly to the airport authority and the specific terminal handling private and business flights, aiming to make the presence and movement of detained individuals more visible to the public.
