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.
