Crime Doesn’t Fly Act of 2023
HR 2843, the Crime Doesn’t Fly Act of 2023, prohibits Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers from accepting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest warrants (Forms I-200 or I-205) as valid identification at airport security checkpoints. This directly affects individuals detained by ICE who might attempt to use these warrants as ID when traveling. The bill allows exceptions only for immigrants being removed from the U.S. under formal immigration proceedings, as defined by law. The key change is preventing ICE detention documents from being used to bypass standard ID requirements at airports.
