A planeload of immigrants were reportedly strapped down with physical restraints during a 51-hour journey that dropped detainees in six countries last month, marking one of the longest-ever deportation flights under President Donald Trump in a record-breaking month for removals.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement performed at least 245 removal flights in April — a monthly record since independent monitors began tracking the planes in 2020, according to Thursday’s report from Human Rights First.
