US EditionTrump Administration: Shaheen's Husband Got Preferential Treatment
- The Department of Homeland Security revealed in June 2025 that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's husband, William Shaheen, was removed from TSA watchlists after lobbying efforts.
- This followed Shaheen's direct appeal to former TSA Administrator David Pekoske, who granted her husband a blanket exemption despite his flagged status as a co-traveler with suspected terrorists.
- William Shaheen was flagged three times for traveling with known or suspected terrorists, while many others, including Tulsi Gabbard, remained subject to Quiet Skies watchlisting without similar exemptions.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated the Quiet Skies program was politicized, calling it "a political rolodex of the Biden Administration" used against political foes and to shield allies.
- These findings imply misconduct in watchlist enforcement, prompting promises from the Trump administration to restore equal security application and privacy protections for all travelers.
