Overview

• Chris Krebs, former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, had his Global Entry Trusted Traveler membership revoked on April 30, 2025.
• Krebs characterized the revocation as a retaliatory act by the Trump administration following his public affirmation of the 2020 election's security.
• The revocation follows President Trump’s April 9 executive order stripping Krebs of security clearances and directing the Justice Department to investigate him.
• Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program that expedites reentry for pre-approved low-risk travelers, now denied to Krebs.
• The move has drawn widespread condemnation from cybersecurity experts and political observers, who view it as a politicized misuse of federal programs.
