U.S.-Chartered Deportation Flight Lands in Buenos Aires With 10 Argentine Nationals

The charter marks a shift from earlier commercial removals under a broader U.S. deportation push.

Overview

  • The Omni Air International Boeing 767-300 reached Ezeiza around 3 a.m. on September 11 after scheduled stops in Bogotá and Belo Horizonte.
  • Arrival reporting confirmed ten deportees, revising earlier media estimates that suggested 16 Argentines would be on board.
  • Argentine diplomatic officials said consular support was provided and described the number of nationals involved as “infinitesimal.”
  • Roughly half of those returned reportedly had no criminal records, consistent with DHS criteria that include immigration violations as grounds for removal.
  • This was the first dedicated deportation charter for Argentines, aligning with a regional pattern that has seen about 1,900 Brazilians repatriated on 21 flights this year.
