NEW: An ICE flight headed for Moldova turned around over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday and flew back to an ICE hub, returning 15 hours after it left. We don’t know why. Video I obtained from the scene shows 11 exhausted and shackled people disembark. gillianbrockell.com/why-did-this...

What are reasons to turn flights around other than court order? Medical emergency: they could land in UK or Germany surely?

@jjindc.bsky.social

We believe they lost landing clearance in Moldova because they would arrive at a time the airport is closed.

Oh! Simple as that! ICE didn't plan ahead.

They are extremely bad at planning. I describe a bunch of other incidents like this one in the story. :-)
