They’re so secretive that people know about that
Democrats express ‘grave concerns’ over secretive ICE deportation flights
A group of 40 House Democrats have described “grave concerns” over the Trump administration’s secretive program of deportation flights and demanded the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) address allegations of mistreatment and inhumane conditions on ICE charter jets.
In a letter shared with the Guardian and addressed to the FAA administrator, Bryan Bedford, the lawmakers describe the “urgent need for transparency” over ICE’s expanded use of commercial airliners to transfer detained immigrants and its “inappropriate and dangerous” efforts to shield these flights from public scrutiny.
“Credible reports indicate that individuals have been placed on flights without notice to counsel or family members, effectively disappearing from public view when flights are inappropriately shielded from tracking systems,” the letter states. “Families are left searching for their loved ones, and attorneys are denied meaningful opportunities to intervene, raising serious due process concerns.”
The letter references an investigation by the Guardian, based on leaked flight data, which revealed the Trump administration transported detained immigrants in ways that routinely violated their constitutional rights. The reporting also identified allegations of abuse and rights violations at a private detention center in Alexandria, Louisiana, a central node in the administration’s deportation program.
Well, maybe they shouldn’t be in the U.S. illegally? If they do not want this to happen they can leave. Heck, if they leave the U.S. government will give them some money and pay for the flight out. Pick somewhere.
The lawmakers ask the FAA to provide a detailed report of “all ICE air operations” since Trump was sworn into office, including flight origin and destination data as well as how many passengers were held onboard each flight. It addresses reporting by the Associated Press, which revealed how dozens of charter jets used for deportation flights were granted unusual permission by the FAA to block certain data, including tail numbers, from public flight tracking sites – making it harder to monitor ICE air operations in public.
If only Democrats cared half as much about American citizens as they do about illegals.
Goddammit, they’re illegals. Barely even human. They are lucky we don’t line them up and shoot them in trenches! Like Germany we should house the healthy in work camps in farmland and the weak, sick, elderly… well, you know.
How fascist of you, Rimjob.
Yet oddly; the Democrats had NO “grave concern” with Obama’s ‘middle of the night’ flights (eight per week) packed with Islamists; carried out during his entire 2nd term as President. That’s approximately 1,200 Islamists a week; for 208 weeks; ALL on the tax payers dime. And fyi; ALL had U.S. Citizenship; before they even touched down in America. About 75% of these Islamists; were eventually bused down to Texas; leading to ALL their family members LEGALLY migrating here shortly thereafter. We now have almost 70 Islamic Centers/Mosques (and growing) just in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Almost 350 (and growing) across the state. Endless Islamic subdivisions popping up everywhere. And now; they are starting to flex their muscles in public venues and local governments.
“Secretive flights”, where every passenger has a cell phone and is turned loose at their destination. If democrats put a few people on those flights, they should know all about them.
