(1/4) @humanrights1st 's ICE Flight Monitor April 2026 report reveals record levels of ICE Air deportation flights, an expansion of forced third country transfers, & continued high shuffle flight volumes. See April's key findings here:
(1/3) U.S. removal flights to Mexico have surged since April 13, totaling 71 flights from May 1-20 -- an avg of 25 flights per week compared to just 5/week earlier in 2026. This spike is largely due to a near-total pause in deportations of Mexicans via the U.S.-MX land border.
Last night, an ICE Air flight (EAL8273) landed in Paraguay at 10:47pm ET, marking the 2nd forced third country transfer there following a flight on April 22. The flight originated in Alexandria, LA & made deportation stops in Colombia & Brazil prior to landing in Asunción.

An ICE Air flight is currently en route to St. Kitts and Nevis after a deportation stop in the Dominican Republic. This’ll likely mark the 1st flight to carry third country nationals to St. Kitts. It originated in Alexandria, LA w/ a stop in Miami, FL.
An ICE Air flight (OAE2149) is currently en route from Harlingen, TX to Puerto Rico - a common fuel stop before deportation stops in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is likely the flight carrying third country nationals to Sierra Leone, which is expected to land on May 20, per @Reuters
