ICE Air Weekly Activity – Week of 22 Feb 2021.

Far fewer removal flights than most weeks at 15. Driven by 6 fewer flights per week to Mexico.
There were a large number of domestic flights shuffling people around the US, but some may have been make-up flights from those weather impacted the prior week.

Since Title 42 has been in place, the # of pedestrians and passengers crossing the border from Mexico approaches 100,000,000. No health checks. During that time, 440,000 migrants were expelled with no chance to assert their legal right to asylum because of health concerns. Logic?
