This is who was on that Gitmo flight I tracked 12 days ago — a guy who did everything right to overcome the circumstances of his birth.

Looks like we're using Gitmo to imprison immigrants again. This is an ICE charter airline owned by ICE's flight broker using the callsign they use for all their ICE flights. 1/2

Mejia said some of the children don't have families to go home to, and others' families are themselves involved in criminal
organizations, complicating the process of determining what would be safest for those children.
Arvey from Human Rights First said that some families are able to get their children as far north as Monterrey on flights, but then the children have to figure out the rest of the journey to Tamaulipas, the border state where many are from. She said cartels have even paid for some children's flights in order to re-recruit them.
"Now this is just making the security situation worse," Arvey said. "It's also making it more likely they'll be re-recruited instead of reunited with family and accessing services like with DHIA."
