🚨 ICE is arresting visa overstays & pending green card applicants at airports using TSA data. If your status is in a gray area, domestic air travel is high-risk right now. Know your rights before you fly. www.instagram.com/p/DboXgR1CRM...

This plane has left Alexandria, LA, again and is currently refueling in Bangor. Migrants onboard have been shackled for at least 34 hours. Story updated.

NEW: An ICE flight headed for Moldova turned around over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday and flew back to an ICE hub, returning 15 hours after it left. We don’t know why. Video I obtained from the scene shows 11 exhausted and shackled people disembark. gillianbrockell.com/why-did-this...

🧊🖕✈️ DALLAS‼️🤠

We’re here again today, across from bag claim 10 at Terminal 1, until 4:00pm.

Minnesota 50501@mn50501.bsky.social · 3w ago

Your favorite thorn in Delta's side is back at MSP's "Freedom of Expression Booth" tonight. MN50501 is talking with travelers about Delta's role in ICE deportation flights. If you're in Terminal 1 tonight, come find us. Ask questions, grab a button, have a conversation. Slence changes nothing.

Looks like American Airlines is moving people for ICE too; fellow avgeeks are confident this is flight AAL406, AUS-MIA, on July 31. We’ve been confident Delta wasn’t the only one flying people for ICE, we just haven’t seen much footage. www.instagram.com/reel/DbeWJIY...

To clarify, this means we’ve kicked 22,000 people out of the US, deported them, to countries they aren’t from.

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 5d ago

Additionally, @refugeesinternational.org and @humanrightsfirst.org now estimate 22,000 people have been subjected to third-country removal in Trump's second term, up from 19,000 just a few weeks ago. gillianbrockell.com/tracking-all...

28 people flown to indefinite detention on ICE Air today from Minneapolis. In rain that got heavier as the loading process went on, MN50501 volunteers observed construction workers, elderly, and women. If you may have loved ones on the flight, full footage be seen here: youtu.be/gJr9Q79MQxc 🧵👇

“The government hasn’t paid for any work performed since November, providers say, and in recent months has insisted it will only hand over the money in exchange for information about the children that the lawyers say is confidential.”

Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · 6d ago

The Trump administration has gone months without paying attorneys who represent unaccompanied immigrant children as part of a years-old, congressionally-funded effort. The latest in a series of temporary bridge contracts ends tomorrow, with no replacement in sight: www.huffpost.com/entry/unacco...

The imminent flight that I mentioned at the end of this story has taken off. Sounds like it’s going to go Senegal - Ghana - Central African Republic, with the latter two being third-country removals. At least one of the immigrants being sent to CAR is from Nepal.

NEW FROM ME: A frenzy of cruel and unusual ICE flights over the last few days suggests the Trump admin is ratcheting up its ethnic cleansing campaign. And it may be increasingly desperate to find willing collaborators. My breakdown: gillianbrockell.com/frenzy-of-cr...

It’d be nice if the people of St. Paul, and our local press, were as interested in the wave of homeless folks about to get bulldozed as they were about the Mayor’s alleged wiener chat.

"Enforcement comes last” does not mean much when a closure is predetermined. Your own website says there is not enough housing for everyone and that this is functionally no different from previous encampment closures.

Thread of updates on an unusually busy day in ICE flights. This Omni ICE flight just landed in Laos. Passengers have been shackled for 25+ hours. There is likely at least one more stop. 1/

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · last wk.

Overnight this Omni ICE removal trip refueled in Anchorage and is now likely headed to its second refueling stop in Guam. It’ll be another 10 hours at least before it makes its first removal stop. The people onboard have been shackled for at least 14 hours so far.

This includes people who came here legally on a visa, applied for another form of status, and are just waiting for the US government to decide their case. People who haven’t done a single thing wrong.

NEW: The Trump administration has begun arresting foreign citizens with expired visas as they travel through airports, according to documents obtained by The Times and interviews with lawyers — a tactic that opens up a vast new pool of people for deportation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

Signature Aviation, MSP's private jet terminal, was busy yesterday, with aircraft from the Pohlads, Cargill, Target, Marvin Windows, Sanford Health, and ICE. The ICE Air flight was loaded with 29 shackled detainees, who were flown away from Minnesota to Alexandria, LA and El Paso, TX.

Please listen to this interview with @gillianbrockell.com; I cannot reiterate how proud I am to know her, and what amazing work she’s doing - so many of us are trying to speak for those with no voice right now, and I don’t know of anyone doing it more effectively than her.

As someone whose airport has a spineless, chicken-hearted approach to acknowledging reality, it’s refreshing to see BDL’s comms team talking about this - plain clothed ICE agents are detaining people at airports after TSA, before boarding.

Two recent ICE flights may have been third-country removals--an Air Wisconsin flight to Dominica yesterday, and an Eastern Airlines flight to Paraguay overnight. Both countries have TCR agreements with Trump. Paraguay has taken third-country nationals around the third week of the month since April.

We’ve been hearing rumblings of travelers who’ve cleared TSA being taken by ICE at/near their gate boarding flights; this is the first public footage I’m aware of, out of Denver yesterday. www.instagram.com/reel/DbEcBcZ...

🚨 ICE just published their recent numbers and it's worse than we thought. JUNE: ICE and CBP took 43,138 people. That works out to 1,474 of our neighbors every single day. JULY: 65,765 people are now inside US concentration camps.

ICE Quietly Arresting More People Than Ever According to Latest Data

NEW DATA ALERT 🚨 After months of data silence, ICE's new numbers show 65,765 people in immigration detention, deportations near 1,250 a day, and arrests now at 1,473 a day.

At 10:30am this morning, La Resistencia volunteers observed 74 people brought to King County International Airport to be detained at NWDC.

This is the best TV coverage of ICE Air that I’ve seen - the interviews with detainees, longing to see their children, are gut-wrenching; the facts are well-researched and presented. Fuck ICE.
