A win today for justice, compassion, and the rule of law.
(1/2) An ICE deportation flight previously scheduled to forcibly transfer third country nationals to Panama today appears to now be cancelled. IFM is not seeing indications that deportation flights to CAR, Burundi & Rwanda are moving forward.

Justice, fairness, and the rule of law win today.
Without even allowing the government a chance to respond, and in the dark of night, a federal appeals court blocked us from conducting all third-country removals of illegal aliens, an entirely legal and invaluable tool to stem the tide of illegal immigration. We will immediately seek relief from the Supreme Court, which previously granted a stay in this very same case. foxnews.com/politics/federal…

A small (14-seat) Talon jet that departed Mesa, AZ is now in Puerto Rico, likely refueling before onward removal stops. We are monitoring this flight for deportations of nationals to their countries of origin in the African region.

Many extremely important flights and routes to watch today. This is one. Follow @ICEFlightM
A small ICE Air jet stopped at Guantanamo Naval Base and is now heading West, likely to carry out a removal flight. We understand eight Somali nationals were being held at GTMO. Not yet clear how many are being removed

Two ICE deportations to Venezuela in a day. Had been 1 per week so will be curious if pace is now 2 per week going forward.
Yesterday, 2 ICE Air flights (EAL8280 & GXA6245) arrived in Barcelona, Venezuela, removing 379 Venezuelans, including families & children. Both flights originated in El Paso, TX. Since the earthquakes, removal flights to Venezuela resumed on Aug 3 and have totalled 7 flights.

While the Trump admin. has not said this explicitly, DHS sources tell me the deportation of non-Africans to Africa is designed to be a warning:
If you’re here illegally / with a tenuous status and don’t self deport, you could be sent to an African nation where you have no ties.
Liberia, an African country roughly the size of Tennessee and home to more than 5 million people, is now hosting deportees from nations like Brazil, Colombia, Honduras and Venezuela who were expelled from the U.S.
CBS News' @camiloreports went there to understand how they ended up thousands of miles away from the U.S. and their homelands.

AEGEAN BOAT REPORT
WEEKLY UPDATE – WEEK 37 (SEPTEMBER 7 – SEPTEMBER 13)
This week, 23 boats carrying 553 people attempted to reach the Greek Aegean Islands.
🚫 11 boats were stopped/pushed back — 280 people intercepted
✅ 12 boats arrived — 273 people were officially registered on the islands
⸻
Of all boats that attempted the journey:
✅ 52.2% reached Greece
🚫 47.8% were intercepted by the Turkish Coast Guard or police
⸻
📈 Arrivals increased by 17.7% compared to last week.
➡️ The number of registered boats arriving on the islands increased from 11 boats last week to 12 boats this week.
📉 The total number of boats departing towards the Greek islands decreased from 32 boats last week to 23 boats this week.
📈 Transfers to the mainland increased by 111.1%, with 629 people relocated.
👥 Official island population: 5,227
⸻
So far this year:
🚫 445 boats carrying 10,410 people have been intercepted by the Turkish Coast Guard or police.
✅ 228 boats carrying 6,290 people have reached the Greek Aegean Islands.
These numbers should have been significantly higher were it not for pushbacks carried out by the Hellenic Coast Guard.
Transfers to the mainland remain essential to reduce pressure on the reception facilities as arrivals continue. Despite a slight decrease this week, the official island population remains significantly higher than one month ago. Over the last 30 days, the population on the islands has risen by 1,772 people. This increase is mainly due to more people arriving on the islands than being transferred to the mainland. This may only be temporary. If arrivals remain high or transfers decrease, the island population is likely to rise further.
⸻
Despite increasing pressure on our organisation and the continued criminalisation of humanitarian work, Aegean Boat Report continues to monitor the Aegean around the clock, documenting arrivals, human rights violations, and ensuring that people in distress are not left without a voice.

It looks like ICE is freaking out over all of the unqualified, un-vetted, un-fingerprinted desperation hires, so now officials are mass firing everyone that should have never been hired in the first place. wapo.st/3VfSxCd
