PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-08-03 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This bill would prohibit accessing or using Transportation Security Administration information and certain commercially brokered passenger data to carry out Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement functions. It would also prohibit denying, suspending, or ending enrollment early in specified travel screening and border-crossing programs because someone participated in activity protected by the First Amendment. These are proposed restrictions, not evidence of changes already enacted.
The Secretary may neither access nor utilize, whether through direct means or indirect means, such as Mobile Fortify or another similar application, specified information to carry out a function of any of the following: (1) U.S. Customs and Border Protection. (2) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
the term specified information means any of the following: (1) Information from the Transportation Security Administration. (2) Data that satisfies the following requirements: (A) Includes personally identifiable information of a flight passenger. (B) Is from a private sector entity that brokers such data.
The Secretary may not deny, suspend, or early terminate an individual’s enrollment in a program specified in paragraph (2) on the basis of such individual’s participation in an activity protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The proposal is titled the “No TSA Data for ICE Act.” It would add a new section 714 to the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
This Act may be cited as the No TSA Data for ICE Act.
Title VII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 341 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following new section: 714. Prohibitions regarding information sharing and Trusted Traveler programs
The information restriction would bind the Secretary and cover both direct and indirect access or use for any Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement function. It expressly includes access or use through Mobile Fortify or similar applications.

(2) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The restriction would cover information from the Transportation Security Administration. It would separately cover data from a private business that brokers such data, but only when that data includes information identifying a flight passenger.

(2) Data that satisfies the following requirements: (A) Includes personally identifiable information of a flight passenger. (B) Is from a private sector entity that brokers such data.

The Secretary may not deny, suspend, or early terminate an individual’s enrollment in a program specified in paragraph (2) on the basis of such individual’s participation in an activity protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The enrollment protection would cover PreCheck, Global Entry, SENTRI, FAST, NEXUS, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Travel Card program.
A program specified in this paragraph is any of the following: (A) The PreCheck Program under section 44919 of title 49, United States Code. (B) The Global Entry, SENTRI, and FAST programs under subsection (k) of section 7208 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (8 U.S.C. 1365b).
