Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Trump and Kristi Noem Shutting Down TSA PreCheck and Global Entry to Punish the American People
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on news the Trump administration is idiotically shutting down the TSA Precheck and Global Entry programs tomorrow to punish the American people:
"These nitwits are at it again. This is Trump and Kristi Noem purposely punishing the American people and using them as pawns for their sadistic political games. TSA PreCheck and Global Entry REDUCE airport lines and ease the burden on DHS staff who are working without pay because of Trump's abuse of the Department and killing of American citizens.
“Trump and Kristi are making your lives harder – and your travel less safe – all on purpose because they know you don't trust them. They pulled these games with FEMA disaster response last week, now this madness. They would rather force Americans to miss their travel waiting in long lines at the airport than stop Trump’s secret police from shooting our neighbors.
“The American people – who want ICE reined in – will not fall for this bullshit. The administration must reverse this decision immediately."
