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.

Grocery stores in the US have thin margins too 🤡

Somehow lidl and aldi are able to enter US market and compete on price anyway.

Sounds like a skill issue tbh

Esp if you are low income American...

Imagine instead of slop dollar store, you have access to a place that sells actual food...

But American clown capitalism can't supply the poors with food 🤡
