Deportations

Mass Immigration Hearings Inside Crowded Courtrooms

July 16, 2026 Kate Morrissey, Capital and Main. , , ,
The Trump administration has found a way for immigration judges to order dozens of immigrants deported at the same time. Known widely as mega master hearings, the tactic involves rescheduling large numbers of immigration court cases from hearings months into the future to dates in just a matter of days or weeks. A single judge could have more than 100 cases on a given morning or afternoon during a mega master docket. Attorneys around the country have said that many people do not get notice of the hearing date changes in time, and judges then order deported most, if not all, of the people who don’t show up for court.

Lawyers Build New Infrastructure To Fight Deportation Machine

Coalitions of attorneys, rights groups, and other organizations are developing a powerful new infrastructure to challenge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine. Several so-called habeas projects have been created in states or regions across the country in recent months to connect noncitizens facing unlawful detention with pro bono attorneys who can file habeas corpus petitions on their behalf in federal court. “When it became clear that the administration had made it its priority to prevent people from accessing bond and immigration courts and, really the mission of the administration seems to be to keep people in detention for as long as possible, we saw a need to help facilitate access to the federal courts,” Christy Rodriguez.

The baby needed somewhere to go. So in the frantic hours before officers took her parents away to immigration detention, her mom turned to their pastor and his wife. As squad cars waited outside the family’s Lakeland, Florida, trailer home, she gave them a crash course in how to care for the 4-month-old. Briany, with her plump cheeks and full head of dark hair, wasn’t normally this fussy. But it was late that January night — around midnight — and she was still hungry. Her mom, Doris Flores, had tried nursing her to calm her down. It didn’t work. When she brought Briany to her breast, the milk wouldn’t come.

March 3, 2026 Claire Gray, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Englewood, CO – On Saturday, February 21, about 50 community members joined Aurora Unidos Community Service Organization (AUCSO) at Centennial Airport for a car protest with one clear message: no more deportation flights taking off from our backyard. The action called on Key Lime Air and JetCenters of Colorado to end their roles in supporting ICE transfers and deportation flights. When it comes to family separation, AUCSO says “business as usual” just doesn’t fly. Before the car rally began, Alfredo Carbajal, an organizer with AUCSO stated, “These companies want you to think they are just local businesses.

Avelo Airlines’ Decision To End ICE Deportation Flights ‘Not Political’

January 8, 2026 Luke Peters, Aerospace Global News. , , , ,
On 6 January, Avelo Airlines announced a raft of changes to its route structure and passenger fleet to consolidate its financial position following the securing of additional financing. It now appears that those plans will also include the dropping of all ICE deportation flights operated by the carrier on behalf of the DHS. In April 2025, the carrier announced that it had signed a long-term contract with CSI Aviation, the US government agency that organises the logistics behind all ICE flights. Upon the announcement that Avelo would be operating the DHS-sponsored deportation flights, the airline established a standalone base at Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) and dedicated three of its 14 Boeing 737-800s to the operation.

Denver, CO – Organizers in Denver are continuing the fight against local airline Key Lime Air, responsible for deportation flights. Over the last week, the campaign to stop Key Lime Air from operating deportation flights has expanded. Organizers from Aurora Unidos CSO, Immigrant Partnership Teams, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, and Casa de Paz gathered outside of the Denver City Council meeting on December 15. The city councilors were scheduled to vote on Key Lime Air’s presence at Denver International Airport. If passed, the bill would expand Key Lime Air’s contract with the airport by increasing its operating space there.

The Data Brokers Fueling ICE’s Deportation Machine

In the current political climate, the last bulwark against the abusive deployment of corporate-owned generative artificial intelligence might just come from union shareholders. AI tools are constantly evolving, and ​“with no one stepping in to create some guardrails, they will become harder and harder to regulate,” says Emma Pullman, head of shareholder engagement at the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) in Canada. The union, representing more than 95,000 members in the public and private sectors, is a long-term investor in Thomson Reuters and is pressuring the Toronto-based data broker to align its AI products with human rights principles. “As investors, we are thinking about this as a risk to our investments, but also as a social and ethical issue,” Pullman says.

The other four governments, Eswatini, South Sudan, Uganda and Rwanda have already been acknowledged as being collaborators with the administration of President Donald Trump which has deployed thousands of Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country to round up people suspected of being inside the country without proper documents.

Protesters Demand Avelo Leave BWI-Marshall Over ICE Flights

September 1, 2025 Kim Dacey, WBAL. , , , ,
Dozens of protesters gathered Sunday morning at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to voice their opposition to Avelo Airlines' role in providing flights for Immigration Customs Enforcement's deportation efforts, highlighting concerns over transparency and accountability. The organization Indivisible and several local organizations marched, saying Avelo has a $150 million contract with the federal government to run deportation flights for ICE, transporting detainees to other facilities out of state. "We have an opportunity as Marylanders to stand up for our immigrant neighbors, coworkers families and friends," said Jennifer, with Indivisible. Jennifer emphasized the importance of taxpayer awareness, telling 11 News: "I think it's really important for, especially, taxpayers to be aware of the fact that because Avelo is privately funded, there's a lack of transparency for Marylanders and for Americans throughout the country."

ICE Is Deporting Thousands Of People With Minor Offenses

Contractor Hector Madrid Reyes was driving to Home Depot in March when he was rear-ended. As he and the other driver exchanged information, a Georgia State Patrol officer pulled up and asked for their licenses. Madrid, who arrived in the U.S. from Honduras as a teenager and was awaiting a court hearing for his asylum claim, didn’t have one. “There’s no public transportation where we’re at, no Uber or Lyft,” said his wife, Jacqueline Maravilla, about his choice to drive. “Everything's 45 minutes from everything. It's a calculated risk we have to take to support our family.” That risk has grown even greater for thousands of immigrant families under the Trump administration, as officials expand efforts to deport people with little or no criminal history.

Don’t Single Out Military Deportations, Dismantle The Deportation Machine

One Purple Heart veteran is in deportation proceedings. Another has self-deportedin anticipation of being detained. The father of three Marines is beaten and arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at work. The wife of a Marine languishes in a Louisiana immigration detention center, apprehended at her green card interview. Amid a brutal escalation of immigrant deportations in 2025, a spate of news stories including those above highlights a convergence of the U.S. military and immigration system. Immigrants have always served in the U.S. military, and their veteran status does not protect them from being deported alongside their civilian immigrant neighbors.

Border Patrol And ICE Agents Are Arresting US Citizens

Since federal agents descended onto Los Angeles streets in early June, several United States citizens have been detained and held in immigration detention centers. A Capital & Main review of local reporting, video and social media posts found at least nine citizens were taken into custody by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection after protesting near or observing immigration raids in the Los Angeles area since June 6. Two are currently facing federal charges.  Job Garcia arrived at the Home Depot in Hollywood for his delivery gig for another company on the morning of June 19 expecting to have a regular day.

Trump’s ICE Raids Target Working-Class Immigrants, Not Criminals

Following Donald Trump’s pledge to detain 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have surged across the United States. California, home to an estimated 2.8 million undocumented immigrants as of 2023. has emerged as a primary target. Department of Homeland Security official Kristi Noem traveled to Los Angeles for a press conference, declaring the government’s intent to “bring in criminals that have been out on our street far too long.” But data tells a different story. According to ICE datasets analyzed by the Los Angeles Times, during the first 10 days of June, ICE arrested 722 undocumented immigrants in California.

The IRS Is Building A Vast System To Share Taxpayers’ Data With ICE

July 16, 2025 William Turton, Christopher Bing and Avi Asher-Schapiro, Pro Publica. , , , , ,
The Internal Revenue Service is building a computer program that would give deportation officers unprecedented access to confidential tax data. ProPublica has obtained a blueprint of the system, which would create an “on demand” process allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain the home addresses of people it’s seeking to deport. Last month, in a previously undisclosed dispute, the acting general counsel at the IRS, Andrew De Mello, refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE. In an email obtained by ProPublica, De Mello said he had identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in the agency’s request.

Did A Leak Stop Trump From Sending 9,000 Migrants To Guantánamo?

Yesterday, June 26, was the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, first marked in 1998 to commemorate the historic day in 1987 when the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into effect, and also to mark the historic day in 1945 when the United Nations Charter, the founding document of the UN, was signed in San Francisco by 50 countries. Despite the best intentions of those who worked assiduously to create the Torture Convention over many decades, many of its signatories have — either openly or covertly — failed to fulfill their obligations to prevent the use of torture.
