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.

OK… We all knew this in 2004.

Is it suddenly more outrageous now?

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’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say here, but shit was definitely just as bad in 2004. If you were around then, you should know. Shit has sucked here for a long time.

No, things are far worse, every day it's a new low at the moment, to try to argue otherwise is simply not in good faith. Shit, didn't they haul off some parents from a car yesterday and leave the kids int he car unsupervised?

I hope they know, that when this shit is all over "I was just following orders" will NOT keep them from prison.
