华盛顿，2月24日（路透社）- 美国旅行行业组织和国会议员周二呼吁唐纳德·特朗普政府恢复全球入境计划（Global Entry）。该计划旨在为预先批准的低风险旅行者加快美国海关和移民检查流程。
国土安全部周日暂停了该计划，但随后改变了最初计划，即也暂停运输安全管理局的预检计划（PreCheck）。国土安全部表示，此举是为了在部分停摆期间”保留有限的资金和人员”。

“暂停这一关键安全项目与国土安全部的初衷背道而驰，增加了普通通道的人流量，使部门本欲保护的人员超负荷工作，并增加了安全风险，”美国旅行协会表示。”该项目主要由会员支付的120美元费用资助。这一决定既无财政依据，也不符合逻辑。”
社交媒体上的帖子显示，周一在华盛顿附近弗吉尼亚州郊区的主要国际机场华盛顿杜勒斯机场，进入美国的队伍排起了长龙。
国土安全部未立即回应置评请求。

弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·华纳指出，2025年有超过1800万旅行者使用了全球入境计划，为79个入境口岸节省了超过30万小时的海关人员工作时间。他强调，去年秋天持续43天的政府停摆期间，全球入境计划和预检计划均正常运作。”政府的说法经不起推敲，”华纳说。”政府应该专注于与我们共同制定切实可行的解决方案，而不是将给美国旅行者带来痛苦作为政治噱头。”
周日宣布暂停预检计划引发了旅行集团和航空公司的担忧，因为美国春季假期的学生出行旺季即将开始。
超过2000万人注册了预检计划，该计划允许通过预先批准的乘客使用专用快速安检通道，旨在减少等待时间并简化安检流程。
由于国会两党在移民执法政策上存在分歧，国土安全部因资金短缺陷入部分停摆状态。

- Homeland Security in partial shutdown amid funding lapse
WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) – A U.S. travel industry group and lawmakers on Tuesday called on Donald Trump’s administration to reinstate the Global Entry program, which expedites U.S. customs and immigration clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers entering the United States.
The Department of Homeland Security on Sunday suspended the program but reversed course on its initial plan to also suspend the Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck program. The DHS said the move was necessary to “preserve limited funds and personnel” during a partial shutdown.

“Suspending this critical security program does the opposite of what the Department of Homeland Security intends, adding volume to standard lines, stretching the very personnel the department is trying to protect and increasing security risks,” the U.S. Travel Association said. “The program is primarily funded by the $120 fee that members pay. There is no fiscal—or logical—rationale for this decision.”
A social media post showed long lines on Monday to enter the United States at Washington Dulles, the major international airport near Washington in suburban Virginia.
The Homeland Security Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, noted that in 2025 over 18 million travelers used Global Entry, saving over 300,000 officer hours at 79 ports of entry. He noted that both Global Entry and TSA PreCheck were operational during the 43-day-government shutdown last fall. “The administration’s claims don’t pass the smell test,” Warner said. “The administration should be focused on working with us on real solutions, not on inflicting pain for American travelers as a political stunt.”
The announcement that the PreCheck program would be halted on Sunday had raised alarm among travel groups and airlines as a busy travel season involving students on spring break starts in the United States.
More than 20 million people are enrolled in PreCheck, which allows approved passengers to go through a dedicated, faster security lane at U.S. airports and is designed to reduce wait times and streamline screening.
The DHS is in the midst of a partial shutdown due to a lapse in funding by Congress as Republicans and Democrats differ on immigration enforcement policies.
