ICE Air Weekly Activity – Week of 25 January 2021
Ø Despite 2 days of the 100-day moratorium, and a new Administration, total ICE Air flights this week were equal to the prior 6-week average.
Ø It is curious to me that the Biden Administration has not found a way with or without a moratorium, to reduce the number of ICE Air removal and domestic flights.
Ø This week, 20 deportation/expulsion flights to 7 different countries and 79 total ICE Air flights. 2 over the prior 6-week average.

Biden Inauguration – 100-day deportation moratorium – One day ICE Air grounding - Honduran Caravan stopped and broken up by Guatemala – Another flight to Africa . Click on the topic in the note above and you will link to more information.
Ø People “expelled” at the border are done so based on the excuse of health safety under the CDC order (title 42) which has put a tourniquet around the border since mid-March. Between Ap and Dec 417,000 people have come to our southern border to seek protection. 373,000 of them were summarily sent back by land into Mexico (I est. 320,000,) or by air to their countries with no due process.
