Overnight, this plane flew to Senegal to refuel and has now made its first removal stop, to Sierra Leone. This is very likely the third third-country removal to Sierra Leone.

The imminent flight that I mentioned at the end of this story has taken off. Sounds like it’s going to go Senegal - Ghana - Central African Republic, with the latter two being third-country removals. At least one of the immigrants being sent to CAR is from Nepal.

As expected, this Eastern ICE flight has now landed in Bangui, Central African Republic. This is a third-country removal. I don’t know how many people are onboard, but there is at least one man from Nepal. Previously, people from Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan were expelled here.

This was definitely a third-country removal, per the loved one of a possible passenger. The people onboard have been shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a waist chain for more than 24 hours. bsky.app/profile/icef...

UPDATE: After a deportation stop in CAR, the ICE Air flight (EAL8283) has now landed in Accra, Ghana, likely carrying third country nationals from the U.S.
