For the second time, a Journey Aviation ICE flight has stopped in Gitmo on its way to removal stops in Africa. On Sept. 24, a Journey plane deported Somali nationals held at Gitmo via Kenya.

This plane landed in Dakar, Senegal — typically a fuel and crew change stop for ICE flights — and is airborne again. *If* they picked up Somalis from Gitmo, like they did two weeks ago, then the next stop will be Nairobi, Kenya, in about six hours.

I lived there for a few years in the mid ‘00’s, and while the government was far from perfect, it’d be dispiriting to learn it had descended into this horror along with us.
