Yesterday, Aug. 20, was one of the worst days of ICE flights I've seen. -At least 82 ICE flights -At least 15 were removal flights, including Haiti -At least 5 removals were third-country removals (Cameroon, Costa Rica, Liberia, Paraguay, Rwanda) -Plus 1 emergency return for reasons unknown

Is there any estimate you have about how many people might be on these flights? I am wondering what rough speculation we have about the number of people being handled like cargo on a daily basis. It's just shameful.

That’s a good question. We know very few of the flights are full, and even with the full ones up to a third of the seats will be taken by federal agents and GEO Group guards, but no, I don’t know of an estimate and ICE doesn’t release this info.
