Nick Benson scores another scoop, paying attention to what's going on out at the airport. "… and there they were."

"The video that revealed their commercial airline travel was first obtained by Nick Benson, an aviation enthusiast and activist with MN 50501, a grassroots group involved in anti-ICE and No Kings protests. Benson said he’s never seen children while monitoring ICE charter flights, so he suspected ICE was flying them commercially. He identified the time and day the father and son were flown out of Minneapolis, filed a public records request for the security video — and there they were.

"The Associated Press obtained the same video through a similar request to the MSP Airport Police Department. It shows Liam’s dad carrying the boy’s Spider-Man backpack as a woman shows an airline agent their boarding passes. A man and the other woman follow them onto the jetway.

"Delta declined to comment on the video. But the airline said most government travel is booked through third-party agencies, with no advance notice about who is flying or why. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return messages seeking comment."

Video shows Minnesota dad and boy were moved to ICE detention in Texas on commercial airline

Airport security video shows another way federal agents are taking immigrants to detention centers. In some cases they’re using commercial flights, with escorts dressed like any other passengers to avoid drawing attention. Video obtained through public records requests shows the 5-year-old boy who became a face of the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis being flown with his father to Texas on Delta Air Lines. Adrian Conejo Arias and his son Liam Conejo Ramos seemed calm as they were being escorted through the terminal by a man and two women dressed in plain clothes.

I always support the initiative to combat modern news outlets, and I'm currently working on increasing the share of decentralized solutions, which is why I'm here. We also have a news outlet where we deal with hard topics. Of course, we may make mistakes, but we will not defend the global elite, censorship, or war crimes. I'm glad to meet you, and let’s work together to spread the truth about these global villains and enhance the impact of decentralized social networks.
Anyone who sees this post, join me @newsgroup, @MissConstrue, and @Bellingcat.
Let’s unite for impact, spread the truth, and declare war on any form of centralization!
