A court order is allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to once again fly detainees in and out of a county-owned Seattle airport. FOX13
The order, issued earlier this year, says King County’s decision to not allow deportation flights to land at Boeing Field "discriminates against the federal government because other users of the airport are not subject to the limitations found in the Executive Order."Three deportation flights have occurred this month, but the number of immigrants on the flights out of Boeing Field isn't clear.
Constantine first pledged to shut down ICE air flights in 2018. A report from the University of Washington Center for Human Rights in 2019 revealed that 34,400 detainees had been deported from Boeing Field in the previous eight years. "Detained noncitizens in transit from one facility to another institution or jurisdiction will be transported in a safe and humane manner under the supervision of trained and experienced personnel," Yost said.
