US can keep using Seattle airport for deportation flights: Appeals court

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement can continue using a Seattle airport for chartered deportation flights, a federal appeals court ruled in a decision that rejected a 2019 local order that sought to counter then-President Donald Trump's immigration policies. The agency has long used airports around the country to charter flights deporting hundreds of thousands of noncitizens considered lawfully removable from the US.

It announced that future leases at the county airport, also known as Boeing Field, would bar operators from servicing deportation flights.

That alone would be the largest mass deportation. Combine that with ending government aid for all illegals. You see self-deportations, he said. Ramaswamy appeared on multiple Sunday talk shows, the first after the stunning win of Donald Trump i

Trump's deportation plans raise fears in families with undocumented members

Jocelyn Ruiz remembers when her fifth-grade teacher warned the class about large-scale patrols that would target immigrants in Arizona's largest metropolitan area. She asked her mom about it and unearthed a family secret. Ruiz's mother had entered the United States illegally, leaving Mexico a decade earlier in search of a better life. Ruiz, who was born in California and raised in the Phoenix area, was overcome by worry at the time that her mother could be deported at any moment, despite having no criminal history. Ruiz, her two younger siblings and her parents quietly persevered, never discussing their mixed immigration status. They lived as Americans, she said. More than 22 million people live in a US household where at least one occupant is in the country without authorisation, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of 2022 Census data. That represents nearly 5 per cent of households across the US and 5.5 per cent in Arizona, a battleground state where the Latino vote could
