Unions Says Trump Admin Illegally Revoked Airport Workers’ Security Clearances
HuffPost
The Service Employees International Union accused U.S. Customs and Border Protection of carrying out a "nationwide assault on immigrant airport workers."
A major labor union filed a lawsuit Friday accusing the Trump administration of illegally revoking the security clearances of dozens of immigrant airport workers who are authorized to work in the U.S., effectively costing them their jobs.
The Service Employees International Union said at least 80 workers at Boston’s Logan International Airport have lost what’s known as a customs seal, which they need to access certain areas of the airport. Other workers in New York, Orlando, San Francisco and Houston airports have also had their seals revoked, according to the suit.
“These actions constitute a nationwide assault on immigrant airport workers,” the union alleged in its complaint.
