DHS said that “Billy Shaheen’s general exemption has since been withdrawn.”

“It is clear that this program was used as a political Rolodex of the Biden-Administration-protected against his political enemies and to benefit their well-to-do friends,” said DHS secretary Kristi in a statement. “This program should have been about the same application of security, instead it was damaged to be about political targeting. The Trump government will restore the integrity, privacy and equal application of the law for all Americans, including aircraft screening.”
