We’ve these false starts at least three more times in the last few months. I talked to people on two of those previous trips and learned they were kept shackled the whole time. 75 & 82 hours total. So these folks have likely been shackled for 37 hours so far, and their deportation just started.

Do we know the reason for the long back-and-forths?

In Feb, it appears to have been bc of a pressurization issue. Dec was also a mechanical issue where it could still fly but couldn’t go over water. In October, the pilot told passengers it was because they had “lost clearance to land in Romania” (which is a regular fuel stop) but I am skeptical.
