The Transportation Security Administration revealed that unlawful immigrants who are unable to obtain proper identification are being allowed to pass through security using an arrest warrant to prove their identity.
Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, had sent a letter to TSA after a whistleblower claimed the agency was allowing 'unknown migrants' to board commercial airlines in the U.S.
TSA Administrator David Pekoske responded explaining that certain Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents may be considered acceptable alternate forms of identification, including a 'Warrant for Arrest of Alien' and a 'Warrant of Removal/Deportation.'
Other acceptable forms include an Order of Release on Recognizance, an Order of Supervision, a Notice to Appear, and Arrival and Departure form or an Alien Booking Record, according to a letter obtained by DailyMail.com. The Daily Caller first reported the news.
If the traveler does not have acceptable ID, two forms of alternate ID are required and they are subject to additional screening.
The policy applies to non-U.S./Canadian citizens who do not have government-issued ID or passports.
DHS said that an average of 159 passengers fly throughout the U.S. using these DHS-issued documents per day.
'TSA's response confirms the Biden Administration is knowingly putting our national security at risk,' Gooden told DailyMail.com. 'Unknown and unvetted immigrants shouldn't even be in the country, much less flying without proper identification.'

Will that work for voter ID also?
My husband once forgot his drivers license and TSA allowed him to board with his Costco photo ID.
Don’t get any ideas that just any arrest warrant will work, it has to be an arrest warrant specifically for illegal aliens.
Citizens with arrest warrants will be denied.
Are you f$#@ing sh$##ing me?
This can’t be for real....
Does anyone know where I can find the official documentation that allows for this insanity?
They will also accept copies of postal wanted posters for identification.
If they use an arrest warrant ID does the TSA have an obligation to arrest them. Most likely they do, but they won’t.
Aside from the total outrage - how does one prove that THEY are the ones specified on the warrant?!
This isn’t, in anyway, legal and means the entire TSA is a farce that MUST be disbanded.
“I don’t need no stinking badge!”
There’s no picture on an arrest warrant.
I couldn’t get on a Amtrak train..about 10 years ago..with an expired DL.
It was obviously a legitimate issued license and me in the photo..but that how rules dictated by the feds work.
No common sense.
We’ve arrived at hell in a handbasket.
TSA officials continue to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. The Constitution has a word for that!
Remember government only rewards it's own failures.
I lost my license at the airport before and got on with an ID card from the Library of Congress. It had all the federal markings on it, they just passed me right on by, didn’t say anything. My driver license was in my mailbox when I got home, someone was nice enough to mail it back.
Very good, lol!!!
Of course the illegals are not vaccinated for COVID or even worse not screened for any other serious contagious disease. I am expecting an outbreak of TB soon coming to your town.
Probably using them to get free housing and food stamps also.
