For years, Omni Air International has been ICE's only large-jet charter for Africa and Asia deportations -- usually a handful of trips a year. Last April, Omni's parent company was purchase by Stonepeak, and since then, ICE trips have skyrocketed.

These Omni ICE trips include the removal of dozens migrants to Ghana, a country they have never been to, and the transfer deportation of legal asylum seekers back to Russia and Iran, via Omni flights to Egypt, Qatar and Kuwait. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The flights are also getting longer. My analysis of public flight data shows that since Stonepeak's purchase of Omni, nearly half of its ICE trips lasted longer than 24 hours. All adult migrants and some children are shackled are ICE flights.

Stonepeak's website is peak capitalist verbal bollockry - "macro tailwinds" anyone ??

Yeah, and they’ve also decided that data centers count as infrastructure and are heavily invested. Goes against their whole risk-averse philosophy and could blow up in their faces.
