The Transportation Security Administration is giving U.S. immigration officials the names of every airline traveler as part of the Trump administration's widespread deportation program, The New York Times reported Friday.
TSA, several times per week, gives U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a list of travelers expected to be passing through airports, the Times reported.
"ICE can then match the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and send agents to the airport to detain those people," the newspaper said.
CNBC has requested comment on the report from TSA, which is responsible for security screenings at U.S. airports, and ICE.
The Times said that it is not known how many people have been arrested as a result of the information sharing by TSA.
But the newspaper said it had obtained documents that indicate the program led to the Nov. 20 arrest at Boston's Logan Airport of a college student, Any LucÃa López Belloza, who was deported to Honduras two days later. López had been on her way to visit her family in Texas for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Times previously reported that López was brought to the United States from Honduras at age 7, and that her family said neither they nor she knew she was subject to a deportation order.
