The Ghost Flights: Deportation Flights Disappearing Thousands Arrested by ICE

The Ghost Flights.

We've been tracking the Ghost Flights, disappearing migrants, moms, asylum seekers, and others arrested in Minneapolis, who are quickly grabbed and taken away at a private terminal at Minneapolis international airport.

The charter airlines are making it harder to track them, but here's what we found: GlobalX, Eastern and Omni based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have operated most of these, with Sun Country also operating some of the flights.

'The Birdsingers Rhythmic Journey Home'

The Bird Songs once again guided those who have lived in the Mojave Desert since time immemorial, home to a safe haven.

Llewellyn Barrackman, Mohave elder, said, "The Mojave have no place to go. This is our home."

"We are the Pipa Aha Macav, the people along the river, instructed by the Creator to protect it."

Barrackman's words, before he passed to the Spirit World, were at Ward Valley, during the 113-day Occupation which halted a nuclear waste dump on sacred land in 1998.

Here, led by Mojave, Chemehuevi, Quechan, Cocopah and Colorado Indian Tribes, the Occupation faced off law enforcement, and not only survived in the desert, but celebrated a victory here.

Bizarre Message from Demoted U.S. Border Patrol Czar at Mount Rushmore on Lakotas Sacred Black Hills

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Jan. 31, 2026

UPDATE: The two Border Patrol agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been identified by ProPublica. Both are from South Texas. Link

The demoted head of the U.S. Border Patrol operations in Minneapolis delivered a bizarre message at Mount Rushmore, as his caravan snaked its way back across the west. Lakotas said the presence of Greg Bovino on their ancestral lands in the Black Hills was a violation of the sacred.

Bovino's message comes after the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol in Minneapolis, and the illegal arrests and assaults of Native people there.

At Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Bovino referred to the chiseled rock heads of the four U.S. presidents behind him, as the original 'turn and burn' -- the folks that helped make America.

Bovino said he's proud of what the "mean green machine" is doing in Minneapolis and calls them the 'modern day equivalent' of the original turn and burn presidents.
