The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has filed a lawsuit against Customs and Border Protection (CBP) over a new security clearance policy for immigrants working at airports. The SEIU alleges that the policy has resulted in job losses and loss of livelihoods. The CBP recently adopted new guidelines stating that asylum applicants and recipients of Temporary Protected Status cannot qualify for security badges to access certain restricted areas at airports, replacing the previous policy that required federal work permits for immigrants to have unaccompanied access to CBP security areas. The lawsuit alleges that these actions constitute a nationwide assault on immigrant airport workers.
