What happens inside America's vast network of privately run deportation flights?

Earlier this year, ProPublica's @mckenziefunk.com‬ reported on a group of Washington activists and researchers who use a live video feed from the tarmac to document these flights at Seattle’s Boeing Field.

ICE keeps all of its activities veiled in as much secrecy as possible because they know that if the public had an unobstructed view of what they're actually doing they would be appalled.

So sad

We can’t deport a million people in batches of 35. I remember talk about deporting “all of them” when…Romney ran? The calculations of charter busses and planes was astronomical. I wonder if anyone in the administration has really done any math.

canicallyoukate.bsky.social•96 days ago

Someone did the math. I forget where I read it but just the cost of deportations alone was 900 billion iirc. Did a quick google and found this https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-cost-of-deporting-americas-illegal-immigrants/

If there are problems with the program as it exists now, imagine how many problems there will be when they're trying to deport millions of people.🤔

rondomane.bsky.social•96 days ago

We know what the Nazi's did when deportations became too much of a hassle.

Incase people don’t know.

kassyroo.bsky.social•96 days ago

It’s going to get so much worse.

zoopaul.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thank you for doing this reporting because the corporate media couldn't care less.

This whole deportation thing turns my stomach. I hate what the next administration wants to do, and I ESPECIALLY HATE HOMAN AND MILLER for conjuring up these evil and inhumane ideas. #ItsNotRight

Question: Other countries have to agree to and probably require proof the imcoming people are citizens of that country?

pascale2024.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes, that’s why many get rid of ID when they cross the border thinking if they don’t know where I come from they can’t send me back. Criminals are the hardest one to send back because countries of origin won’t accept them.

My God. Black people this was us hundreds of years ago.

donster2112.bsky.social•96 days ago

Well, no. Black people were *brought here* in chains. This is kind of the opposite.

underthematrix.bsky.social•96 days ago

I so appreciate the point you’re making about location. about movement. My point was the chains signify who they are in relation to whiteness. Beasts subhuman. That’s the similarity.

donster2112.bsky.social•96 days ago

I see. Yes, that is a very compelling point.

naturalradical.bsky.social•96 days ago

Any info on what happens at the flight’s destination?

scythian.bsky.social•96 days ago

"Buses roll in from the 1,575-bed Northwest ICE Processing Center in nearby Tacoma, run by private-prison contractor The Geo Group."

boriken1965.bsky.social•95 days ago

I see those flights out my office window in Atlanta

pauljeba.bsky.social•96 days ago

I don't see anything alarming?
