Overview

• The Minneapolis–Newark Sun Country flight diverted to O’Hare after a male passenger engaged in sustained disruptive outbursts, the airline said.
• Witnesses reported the man shouted anti-LGBTQ conspiracy claims, declared “Trump is here,” and at times said the plane was going down.
• A fellow passenger said the man wore roughly 15 masks and alternated outbursts with playing a mobile game.
• Chicago Police boarded after landing, handcuffed the passenger, and turned him over to law enforcement, while U.S. Marshals interviewed travelers.
• Sun Country said the flight landed without incident, no injuries were reported, and the plane later continued to Newark, with no charges detailed in available reports.
