Customs Agents Demand IDs from Passengers on Domestic Flight
------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, Customs and Border Protection agents met passengers as
they exited a flight from San Francisco Wednesday, demanding to check
their IDs. A staffer for VICE News who was aboard the flight captured
photos of the incident, saying passengers were told they couldn't
disembark without showing their documents. The CBP later said its agents
were assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement in seeking a person
ordered removed by an immigration judge.
