Overnight this Omni ICE flight landed in Guam, where it sat for 7+ hours, before continuing west. It is about to make its first deportation stop, in Cambodia. Migrants passengers onboard have likely been shackled for at least 63 hours.

Think about what you were doing on Tuesday around 5pm ET. That’s how long these people have been shackled. Regardless of advanced age, disability, no criminal record or if they agreed to leave voluntarily. They can’t even raise their arms above their shoulders. gillianbrockell.com/what-is-ice-...

I appreciated this point in time reflection. This is how I try to think about the accumulation of hours and days, too. Otherwise, I struggle to comprehend.

Exactly.

This Omni ICE flight has now made its second deportation stop, to Laos. Migrant passengers onboard have likely been shackled for at least 66 hours. There is probably one more stop, to Vietnam.

The Omni ICE flight has now landed in Vietnam, likely the last deportation stop. Migrant passengers onboard have now likely been shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a waist chain for at least 69 hours, perhaps longer. Third Vietnam and Cambodia deports this year, fourth to Laos.

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.
