2: Prohibition of use of ICE arrest warrants as identification at aviation security checkpoints
This section would bar the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration from accepting a "prohibited document" as valid proof of identification at an aviation security checkpoint. A "prohibited document" means Immigration and Customs Enforcement Form I-200 (Warrant for Arrest of Alien) or Form I-205 (Warrant of Removal/Deportation), including any successor forms that replace them. The bar would not apply to an alien who is being removed from the United States in accordance with the immigration laws, using the definition of "immigration laws" in section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101); for that alien, the document could still be accepted as identification at the checkpoint.
