May overview: IFM warns that these trends represent an unprecedented escalation of immigration enforcement with serious human rights implications. Federal courts have already found many of these practices unlawful. They endanger vulnerable people & erode democratic accountability

The dangerous and inhumane ICE deportation of third country nationals landed in Bangui, Central African Republic in the dangerous dark hours, as a thief in the night so as to hide the atrocity. But it was all captured 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
UPDATE: The ICE deportation flight (OAE2272) has just landed at Bangui Int’l Airport in Central African Republic, removing Iranian, Afghan, and other third country nationals from the U.S. This marks the first forced third country flight to CAR.

ICE's flight taking persecuted people from safety into a civil war is on its final leg to the Central African Republic, a country so dangerous the United States recommends all Americans avoid traveling there for any reason whatsoever.
So much for supporting the people of Iran.

The ICE flight taking Iranian women and others from safety in this country to high danger in the Central African Republic just left the ground.
People on this flight proved to a judge that they were likely to be persecuted in their home countries. This is profoundly unjust.

This is the flight set to take multiple people who proved to an immigration judge that they would be persecuted in their home countries and dump them in a war-torn nation that the United States warns its own citizens to avoid traveling to for any reason.
Stop the flight!
