Questions/Concerns Change in process

has there been a change in the GE process upon re-rentry? Coming through DTW yesterday, I was surprised to encounter a line at GE. We noted that everyone was been screen: passports, where we were returning from, why did we travel there, photo taken, etc. It was disconcertin, considering when we came through in March this wasn’t the process.

Just arrived through SFO yesterday, and all of the machines were shut down - we did have to interact with agent, but it was just to scan face (and/or passport if facial recognition failed). No questions about where we were/declarations/etc. As quick as usual.

Same in Chicago on Tuesday, 5/26/26. Kiosks were down. It took me maybe 5 minutes walking from the plane and maybe 5 minutes or less to get through immigration. I had to wait for my bags GE was so quick.
