The winning will start when prices drop. When people hang for treason. And when every last illegal is booted the fuck out! We shall see But I beleive shit not gonna happen!
I.C.E. has been operating their Alexandria Staging Facility at England Airpark, about 2,000 yards from my shop.
It serves as a major hub for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, particularly for deportation flights. Almost all of the deportations flying out of here are via four 737 contract birds chartered and crewed by the Geo Group which also supplies the personnel to run the main facility. They have already been really busy.
Tuesday I was coming through the back side of the airpark within sight of that facility. I noticed two C-17s from McChord AFB parked up on the civil air side. No biggie as that is not unusual to see Mil traffic coming through unrelated to ICE. But this afternoon, I saw crew unloading personal gear at both birds like they might be prepping to depart. Again, no biggie.
About an hour later I drive back through to find both C-17s with rear ramps down, several ICE buses, ICE personnel and groups of detainees being deported with their minimal personal belongings. I stopped to take phone pics so I could quiz a couple of buddies that are still connected there.
Here is what I was told.
The Geo Group is continuing to run four 737s with Geo Group contractors running 5 teams, 7 days a week.
In addition (here is where I was happily surprised) Military, ICE personnel and 40 US Air Marshalls TDY are running two C-130s, multiple C-17s and even occasional C-5As if the size of the load and the destination airfield can warrant it.
I had heard varying reports of Yes this was happening as well as reports of No Way are they going to use Mil assets for this job.
Considering the massive numbers of illegals being scooped up and pushed into the system by ICE across the US, there was zero chance the existing contractors could have the band width to move them out of country any time soon. So I am feeling pretty good that additional resources are being brought on line to sustain the push.
Not seeing much if anything about this in the news but they are at least trying to make things happen in spite of all the squealing and crying by the socialist public and the commie officials.
