> The customs agents did however keep my Global Entry card as a punishment

?????

You never need your global entry card at airport customs because your flight information is encoded to your passport, which the machine scans.

Was that supposed to be punishment? Why did he even have it? Does the Global Entry number still work and automatically give you TSA Pre on the new tickets you purchase?

I'd assume that they also revoked Global Entry, which they can do arbitrarily and I'd be surprised if "you didn't comply with our arbitrary demands" wasn't explicitly listed as one of the specific examples of reasons for revoking it.

> I'd assume that they also revoked Global Entry

instead of assuming can we get an answer? OP? ACLU? The author mentioned he has taken flights since then, he should be able to answer if he still gets TSA Pre, nobody's asked yet

its just as likely that they literally only took the card from him.

They found the card with my passport. They took the card, and a few days later my status was revoked as well.

Are you in the process of trying to get it reinstated, or not yet? (The ACLU letter doesn't seem to include a demand for reinstating it, but I guess you'd be approaching it in some other way)

Insightful, think one of those travel sites like thepointsguy would rally support for clarity?
