From Fox News: The Biden administration allegedly pressured U.S. airports to house migrants despite warnings that it could compromise safety and put travelers at risk, according to a bombshell Senate report.
The 47-page document, “Flight Risk” released by the Senate Commerce Committee, alleges the White House directed the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to find airport facilities for shelters or processing centers for migrants.
According to the report, the administration instructed DOT and FAA to “inventory available facilities” at both federally owned and local airports and to “divert federal resources” to support migrant arrivals.
The Biden administration reportedly pressured at least 11 airports, including Boston Logan, Chicago O’Hare, and New York’s JFK, to allow migrants to live inside terminals, hangars or auxiliary buildings.
The report quotes internal emails in which FAA staff shared concern about what they were being pressured to provide.
In one email on Oct. 6, 2023, an FAA official wrote to Massport, “We have received a request from the WH to determine if there are available facilities on airport or surrounding areas… This is an immediate ask so please prioritize this effort.”
Another DOT staffer replied, “Yikes, this is definitely Fox News fodder in the making.”
Concerns were also raised by Massport, which operates Boston Logan, as they stated, “We are not designed or resourced to manage the intake of migrant populations… this would create a host of unintended safety and security consequences.”
However, 352 migrants were placed at Logan, which ended up costing $779,000 for security, cleaning and transportation.
Nearly 1,000 migrants were housed at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
An alarming security situation occurred at JKF Airport, when an illegal alien from Ecuador ran past security into a secure area. When he was finally caught be security, he had with him a box cutter and pair of scissors.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said in a statement to Fox News, “This report exposes how the Biden Department of Transportation conspired with local leaders in New York, Boston, and Chicago to house migrants in airport facilities at taxpayer expense.”
