There is another ICE flight to Africa in progress, which could include third-country nationals. Will know more when we see where it lands.

CORRECTION: After looking at the flight data a little closer, there were SIX third-country removals, with an additional stop in Equatorial Guinea -- where migrants already trapped there say officials are beating them and threatening them at gunpoint.
