Demand an investigation into the FAA’s role in allowing ICE deportation flights to evade public scrutiny through the LADD program.

sending a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) demanding an investigation into the agency’s role in allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation flights to evade public scrutiny through the use of the Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program

Moulton joined colleagues in calling on the FAA to investigate ICE deportation flights and the use of LADD to obscure them.

The FAA page says the Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed program lets aircraft owners or operators request that registration numbers and similar identifiable aircraft data be withheld from broad dissemination or public flight-tracking display.

Official FAA documentation confirms that LADD is an FAA-administered mechanism capable of limiting public flight-tracking information, which is central to the promise context. It does not show any action by Seth Moulton.

AP reported that the FAA allows carriers to block tail numbers from public flight-tracking websites under LADD, and that blocked planes were often used for ICE deportations and transfers.

This establishes the factual predicate for the promise: ICE Air contractors used FAA-recognized privacy tools and other practices that made deportation flights harder to monitor. It does not identify Moulton taking oversight action.

Rep. Crockett's office said the TRACK ICE Act responds to reports that ICE abused FAA privacy programs such as LADD to avoid disclosing flight operations, and would bar covered operators from hiding tracking data while on federal missions.

A member of Congress introduced legislation targeting the FAA/LADD transparency issue, but this official release names Crockett as the introducer and does not show Moulton sponsoring, cosponsoring, or demanding an investigation.

The Guardian reported that 40 House Democrats sent a letter to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford seeking transparency and a detailed report on ICE air operations, including flight origins, destinations, and passenger counts.

This is the closest evidence of the promised oversight demand: House Democrats sought FAA answers about ICE flight secrecy. However, the article identifies Rob Menendez as lead and names Crockett, Ramirez, and Nadler among signatories; it does not identify Moulton, so fulfillment by Moulton remains unproven.

AP reported that Seth Moulton won reelection to Massachusetts' 6th District and serves on committees including House Transportation and Infrastructure.

This confirms Moulton was in relevant federal service for the 119th Congress and had a transportation-related committee role, making FAA oversight within his federal office context. It does not show he demanded the investigation.
