\u201cHIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: ICE AIR AND THE MACHINERY OF MASS DEPORTATION\u201d REPORT RELEASE AND PANEL DISCUSSION, APRIL 24, 2019<\/b><\/h2>\n

The machinery of mass deportation, through which millions are separated from their families and communities, is hidden in plain sight. Each year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement removes tens of thousands of people from the US on private charter flights operated out of airports across the country, including Boeing Field in King County. Reports have surfaced of egregious human rights abuses on some flights, and violations of immigrants\u2019 rights to due process are routine. Using the Freedom of Information Act, UW student researchers and the UW Center for Human Rights obtained ICE\u2019s national database tracking these flights, and are following the money to document the corporations and municipalities that profit from ICE Air\u2019s deportation flights.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Center\u2019s report on ICE Air operations nationally and in King County, “Hidden in Plain Sight: ICE Air and the Machinery of Mass Deportation,” will be released online at <\/span>humanrights.washington.edu<\/span><\/a> on April 24.<\/span><\/p>\n
