As part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, federal watchdog group Judicial Watch (JW) has learned that
U.S. Customs and Homeland Security gave groups of Somali Muslims private tours of secure areas in at least three major airports, including them in things like security briefings and TSA procedures.
These events curiously dubbed “community engagement tours” have been scheduled several times over the last few years at
Los Angeles International, Minneapolis-St.Paul Airport, and the Columbus, Ohio airport. JW revealed that “the briefings provided to Somali groups were so sensitive that
in 14 instances the agency redacted portions of the records” under the FOIA “risk circumvention” exemption. In other words, the Somali groups had a front-row seat to restricted areas and information at U.S. airport that the rest of us aren’t cleared to see. JW was told this information is “too law-enforcement sensitive” even though it was “provided in full to the Somali group(s).”
