Deportation Flights

I work at a flight school. Every morning I go out on the ramp to pray and to catch the sun rise over the mountains across the runways. It is beautiful and it is peaceful.

This morning as I looked across the ramp, I saw an all white (no logo) 737 taxiing for departure. It was a “ghost plane” deportation flight. My heart sank and my eyes filled with tears.

I’ve known for years that deportation flights operate from the airport where I work, but I’d purposely NOT ever tracked the airplanes or even listened to ATC (other than what I needed to do my job) to avoid encountering them.

I love my flight school job, but I fucking hate ICE’s presence at the airport.

How do I know MAGAts and Christian Nationalists are not Christian…Matthew 25:31-46. Just save your MAGAt “Merry Christmas” assholes.
