Avelo assists ICE daily with deporting people from the United States:

Can’t load that but don’t they all? I can’t imagine any airline telling the federal government no.

It is likely that many airlines accommodate people who are being deported as regular passengers on outbound international flights.

For movement of humans at industrial scale, though, there are only a few operators with ICE contracts. Avelo, GlobalX, Eastern, Key Lime Air, and Omni come immediately to mind. For international flights, there's at least one Learjet operator that flies a bunch for them, too.

These days, the aforementioned carriers fly 20-30 flights/day. Here are Saturday's flights (apologies for the sign-in wall, but lalabote keeps their account somewhat locked down): https://bsky.app/profile/lalabote.bsky.social/post/3mai6lach...

I think Avelo is the only airline that participates. The rest are charter companies.

Avelo flies a number of flights each week for ICE.

good question. After reading his passionate plea for the immigrants, anyone would ask your question.
