Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) is pressing Department of Homeland Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem to reopen the Global Entry program and to back off a new threat to suspend the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) PreCheck program amid the DHS shutdown, which is stretching into its third week.
Rosen, who represents the major tourist hub of Las Vegas, is concerned about the shutdown’s cascading effects on air travel and the economy, and she accused Noem of playing politics with two programs that are intended to make it easier for low-risk fliers to travel.
She warned the senior Trump administration official that suspending the Global Entry program and threatening to suspend TSA PreCheck is “counterproductive” and “unnecessary.” “The Global Entry program facilitates lawful international travel, strengthens security, improves the traveler experience, and supports U.S. economic activity,” Rosen wrote in a Thursday letter to Noem obtained by The Hill.
“As such, it should be immediately reopened and the related … PreCheck program should remain open as well,” she added.
