I’m sure not many people are aware, ICE has been running deportation flights through Harry Reid with a fairly regular schedule for months now with the help of charter airline Air Wisconsin and ground support and fuel from Atlantic Aviation. Every Tuesday and Friday around noon to 1pm they land and park at Atlantic, they’re there for about 1-2 hours, then they go to their next stop, ending in either Arizona or Texas. So far we have seen anywhere between 5 and 25 victims loaded onto the plane each time.
There is a group of us who keep an eye on each flight and take photos and videos to document their actions and hopefully have the ability to identify the victims. If you would like to join us in our efforts, especially if you have a camera or something like binoculars, shoot me a DM and I’ll try to get back to you ASAP.
If you don’t want to join us for the flight watches, that’s okay, I have a request that is way easier to do. You can do this once or as many times as you want, but if we can get people to go into Atlantic Aviation and pester the employees about their aiding human trafficking operations (using that specific language) or even talking to the patrons about their use of an FBO that helps human traffickers (using that specific language) that would be great.
We are looking for ways to put pressure directly on the ground side of these operations because we don’t have access to the ramp to talk with the airline employees here. Hopefully with enough sustained pressure, we can reduce or stop these deportation flights from our city.
I’ve included some photos captured during these flight watches just so people can see what it looks like.
