The TSA says Arrest Warrants are sufficient personal identification

The Transportation Security Administration arrest warrants are proper identification for reveals illegal migrants to take a airline flight.  A whistleblower had claimed the agency was allowing 'unknown migrants' to board commercial airlines in the U.S.  So Rep. Lance Gooden sent a letter to TSA asking for clarification. 

TSA Administrator David Pekoske responded explaining that certain DHS documents may be considered acceptable, alternate, forms of identification.  Those include a 'Warrant for Arrest of Alien' and a 'Warrant of Removal/Deportation'.  If the traveler does not have acceptable ID, two forms of alternate ID are required and they are subject to additional screening.  (Daily Mail)

Isn't aiding to elude arrest a crime in itself?  Seriously, this is a ridiculous breakdown of law enforcement.

The TSA said it relies on agencies such as CBP or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which issue the documents to migrants, to verify that the name on the document used as alternate identification “is the person whom the person claims to be.” If an identity cannot be verified through a database search, an airport’s Federal Security Director (FSD) is left to determine any extra screening process or decide to deny the individual entry, according to the letter (The Daily Caller).
