US EditionBiden admin put some Americans who resisted mask mandates or were involved in Jan 6 on severe no-fly list: TSA
The Biden administration placed 19 Americans on TSA watchlists for mask resistance and Jan 6 involvement, with over half on the no-fly list, despite internal warnings against political targeting.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said the Biden administration weaponized the Transportation Security Administration to target Americans who resisted mask mandates and those linked to Jan. 6, placing some on no-fly lists.
- Following mask-rule enforcement, TSA launched 'Operation Freedom to Breathe' in 2021 to flag mask‑rule defiers, placing 19 Americans on intensive TSA watchlists between Sept. 30 and Oct. 25, 2021.
- Internal documents show roughly 280 Americans tied to Jan. 6 were placed on federal watchlists, including five on the no-fly list; misidentifications included a National Guardsman deployed to Washington for Biden's Jan. 20, 2021 inauguration and the wife of a federal air marshal.
- TSA privacy officials warned `is clearly unrelated to transportation security` and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said `Biden’s TSA wildly abused their authority`; David Pekoske resigned on Jan. 20, 2025.
- TSA sources say the effort was historically expansive, describing it as the most extensive no-fly list use against U.S. citizens, raising civil liberties concerns over denied travel and Federal Air Marshals tracking.
