This is extremely eye opening and useful to help people understand the human services we are throwing away to fuel the hate of mass deportation. www.epi.org/deportation-...

✈️👀⁉️While Republicans are apoplectic at not funding DHS, it appears Secretary Mullin’s plane (and likely he as well) went from DC to OK Saturday night around midnight, not to head back to DC until midday Monday. With his Secret Service investigating the assassination attempt. Really??

Venezuela says that Trump’s announcement about Venezuela’s air space being closed applies to the 2 normal deportation flights per week from the US. Follow @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social to see if this holds true for the next normal flight Wednesday morning.

✈️👀 Today a traditional ICE Air transfer from Everglades - to El Paso and Harlingen. 2nd trad ICE Air (1st to El Paso) combined with 4 Coast Guard observed, 3 to Alexandria and 1 to Harlingen. NO flights observed as direct deports out of country. Most likely to stage people for deports.

✈️👀 Over the weekend I tracked a deport on a military C17 from Alexandria LA>Gitmo>Sierra Leone>Chad>Cameroon>Nigeria. The number of people deported and their nationalities is not known, but because of the multiple stops there may not have been large-scale 3rd country deports, but unclear if any.

And before this there were two coast guard planes that I can’t confirm but now seem highly likely with the ICE Air. One on 23rd to Alexandria and 1 on 25th to Harlingen.

The plane landed after El Paso in Alexandria LA which points to me that they may be transferring people to stage for deportations from El Paso and Alexandria.
