ICE deportation flights

Mary —

"The deportation flight was in the air over Mexico when chaos erupted in the back of the plane, the flight attendant recalled. A little girl had collapsed. She had a high fever and was taking ragged, frantic breaths. The flight attendant, a young woman who went by the nickname Lala, said she grabbed the plane's emergency oxygen bottle and rushed past rows of migrants chained at the wrists and ankles to reach the girl and her parents."

This is how a recent ProPublica piece by McKenzie Funk describes one of the Trump administration's deportation flights. Flight attendants are asked not to make eye contact with passengers, treating them more like cattle than humans.

Avelo Airlines just signed a contract to conduct more of Trump's deportation flights despite countless human rights concerns. Join us in holding them accountable for putting their profits over people.

Under the Trump Administration, we have seen people kidnapped without due process – some of them documented residents. 

A Maryland father of three was mistakenly deported due to "an administrative error" and is now being held in a notorious prison that experts say is rife with abuse. Activists have been apprehended off the street by plainclothes officers, their loved ones given no information about where they are being taken.

This administration is tearing apart families and risking people's lives – and Avelo Airlines is taking advantage of this cruelty to turn a profit.

This is unacceptable. We're calling on Avelo to stop ICE flights immediately or lose our business. Will you add your name to join us in the fight?
