Is there a reason the check didn't happen at TSA instead? Everyone is required to show ID when they go through security, making a second check when exiting the plane unnecessary.
The only scenario in which CBP would check deplaning passengers is that an individual used someone else's boarding pass to get on a different flight than they were scheduled.
In that case, I still don't see CBP being involved but rather normal law enforcement.
- cylinder 10y agoYou don't have to show ID to enter security. It's just the most convenient way to confirm your identity. TSA is not concerned and not able to enforce immigration laws. ICE can't just walk up to the TSA ID-checker and say "tell me if you see a Jose Morales."
