Our investigation tracked ICE Air flights and identified detainees who were flown away—only to be ordered back by a federal judge. In one case, we followed a man from an El Paso-bound deportation flight to a return flight back to Minnesota.
We also documented 32 detainees who were returned that same day under judicial orders.
The reporting raises questions about due process, with one federal judge writing: "Due process is not a game of keep-away."
"ICE AIR: Inside America's Secret Deportation Network" investigates the flights, routes, and people behind a little-seen part of the immigration system.
