Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is demanding information from the Biden administration, questioning the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for allowing 320,000 inadmissible illegal immigrants to fly on commercial airliners without government-issued identification.

In a letter dated March 13 to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Mr. Scott raised concerns over security risks. He condemned TSA for allegedly enabling illegal immigrants to use the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) phone app, CBP One, to enter the United States illegally.
