Under the Trump administration, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of deportation flights being operated. I’ve written before about the logistics of these, as they’re largely operated by private airlines. They’re quite unpleasant for flight attendants, as the reality of working these flights is different than what they signed up for when they pursued this career.
There’s another interesting angle to this, as there’s a group of government workers who don’t seem too jazzed about working these flights either…
However, some air marshals have been been put on special assignment. Specifically, around 200 air marshals have been reassigned from their usual duties to instead working ICE deportation flights.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
