Fourth U.S. Deportation Charter Lands in Buenos Aires With Seven Argentines

U.S. authorities describe the removals as enforcement of visa rules.

Overview

  • A GlobalX Airbus A320-214 charter contracted by ICE touched down at Ezeiza after a stop in Guayaquil carrying seven deported Argentine citizens early Tuesday.
  • After Migraciones processing, the group was released around 2 a.m., with PSA officers escorting four to relatives and driving three away without publicly disclosed destinations.
  • This marks the fourth deportation flight since June, following charters on June 12, Sept. 11 and Sept. 26 operated by GlobalX, Omni Air and Eastern, bringing the four-month total to nearly 50 Argentines.
  • DHS reports roughly 2 million immigrant departures in less than 250 days, including more than 400,000 forced removals, and the U.S. Embassy in Argentina says visas can be revoked for violations.
  • Families describe months-long detentions, transfers to military facilities and phone calls limited to about eight minutes, with unconfirmed reports of cases tied to sexual exploitation and driving under the influence.
