ICE Air’s Sloppy, Dangerous Deportation Flights
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 11/17/2025 7:12:12 AM
In a memo to staff on October 30, Avelo Airlines’ head of flight operations Scott Hall painted a rosy, if defensive, picture of the company’s future. Avelo’s financial strategy was working, he said. The company had a big contract from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to do charter deportation flights, and despite some bumps, the future was bright. They had just hired more pilots and couldn’t buy aircraft fast enough to keep pace with demand. Sure, shutting down their entire West Coast operation looked bad, but it was good, actually, a long-planned move toward efficiency that had nothing to do with the “outrage mob” boycotting Avelo for its association with ICE.

Angeles Mayor Karen Bass gets a Mamdani-like challenger 9 replies
Democratic socialist candidate Rae Huang launched her campaign for Los Angeles mayor against Democratic incumbent Karen Bass. "I am excited and very humbled to announce that I am running for Mayor of Los Angeles, the second largest city in our nation," Huang wrote on her Instagram account Saturday. "After over 20 years of leaning into my call to serve God through social justice work and organizing, this path has led me in these uncertain times to take the unusual path to continue my calling by running for Mayor to finally see through the changes the LA social justice movement and I have been building for years." The 43-year-old community organizer
Nevada attorney general Aaron Ford (D.) attended a "messaging and narrative strategy" event for the Clinton Foundation in New York City, according to public records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon—an undisclosed meeting that neither Ford’s office nor the Clinton Foundation seem willing to discuss.
Ford, who is running for Nevada governor, attended the Clinton Foundation function on May 6, according to Ford's official calendar, which was obtained through a public records request and shared with the Free Beacon. Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton gave opening remarks at the event, where a number of unidentified state leaders took part in sessions on
The late William F. Buckley, Jr. must be credited as one of the people who established modern conservatism in the United States. He had a weather eye for what or who could help or hurt the movement. In the early 1960s, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, labeled former president Dwight Eisenhower, former secretary of state George C. Marshall, and many other leading Republicans as communists. He, and the Birch Society, claimed that every federal agency had been taken over by the communists. After many debates and much correspondence with Welch, Buckley led a movement to expel Welch and the John Birch Society from the conservative movement

Immigrants detained in facilities across the U.S. would be able to contact their lawyers and families under legislation filed by a group of congressional Democrats.
The Restoring Access to Detainees Act affects immigrants who are placed in Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
Sponsors of the legislation said it follows months of “credible reporting” that ICE and CBP have prevented detainees from contacting family members or legal representatives.
“The Trump administration’s practice of snatching people off the street and denying them access to lawyers or calls to family is cruel, unnecessary, and puts U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants at risk of wrongful detention and deportation,”
Country singer Alexis Wilkins has filed a $5 million lawsuit against several conservative influencers who she says falsely portrayed her as a Mossad “honeypot.” Wilkins, who is dating former Trump national security official Kash Patel, filed the suit amid growing disputes inside the conservative movement over Israel and foreign policy.
Patel defended Wilkins in a public statement on X. “The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis, a true patriot and the woman I am proud to call my partner in life, are beyond pathetic. She is a rock solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes,” Patel said.
Florida public school students will learn the “brutal realities” of communism under new standards the State Board of Education adopted Thursday, the state’s education chief said. The “History of Communism” will be integrated into the state’s social studies standards and implemented in the 2026-2027 school year. It’s the result of a 2024 law signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that mandates students be taught the “consequences of communism” and to prepare them to “withstand indoctrination on communism at colleges and universities.”
“With the resurgence of communist ideologies across the United States and throughout the world, it is more important than ever for students to understand the catastrophic failures and human
An illegal alien allegedly used a child’s identity for several years and caused him to lose access to his Medicaid coverage.
Antonio De Jesus Moreno Escobar, who was living in Texas, was arrested by law enforcement officials after he was discovered to be using falsified documents to work different jobs and rake in health care benefits, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday. The apprehension is the latest in Paxton’s ongoing work to root out illegal alien fraud in the state.
“This case is a disturbing example of how illegal aliens drain our resources, hurt innocent Texans, and even deprive children of vital healthcare,” Paxton said in a statement.

As we wrote on Friday, state and local Democrats in North Carolina began wildly chattering this week after information started to circulate that after making progress on sweeping up criminal illegal aliens in Chicago, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was readying immigration operations to start in Charlotte soon. Part of the pushback came from city council members, as well as the sheriff of Mecklenburg County, where Charlotte is located. It was the fear-mongering from one congresswoman and the state's governor, though, that drew the attention of Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, when they failed to acknowledge the difference between the words "immigrant" and "illegal alien." He helped them out
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch appeared on Fox News on Thursday morning to discuss his new children’s book, The Heroes of 1776, but the interview shifted to broader concerns about civic understanding in the United States.
Gorsuch said a lack of basic knowledge about the nation’s founding principles represents a serious threat to the country.
Gorsuch noted that many Americans would be unable to pass the civics test required of foreigners seeking to legally immigrate to the United States.
He said this gap in understanding poses long-term risks for the country and echoed themes he has raised previously regarding civic education.
The Federalist reported on the interview and highlighted Gorsuch’s
If there’s any good that’s come from the government shutdown, it’s exposing all the fraud being committed to exploit the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
To be sure, there are millions of needy Americans who were hurting from being deprived of SNAP as they tried to support children and keep their families from going hungry. This is not about them. This is about the other people — the individuals who dip into this program unjustly at the expense of the taxpayer.
Just the News reported that Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Steven Vaden has indicated his agency is engaging in data collection relating to SNAP across several states
Vatican officials cast Pope Leo XIV’s meeting Saturday with three dozen Hollywood and Italian A-lister cinema stars as “cultural outreach” by a pontiff who has long had a soft spot for film.
But in a papacy barely six months old, even small things can be a cultural Rorschach test – including the conspicuous absence of high-profile conservative stars at Saturday’s event. Leo’s guest list included Oscar-winning director Spike Lee; two-time Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett; comedy director Judd Apatow; Mad Max director George Miller; Gus Van Sant, best known for directing Oscar winner Good Will Hunting;

gets backlash after he urges people to
boycott Starbucks 27 replies
New York City mayor-elect and self-proclaimed Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani urged his followers not to purchase Starbucks products while workers are on strike. Mamdani posted the call to action on his X account to his more than one million followers, which generated swift backlash from those who opposed his pro-union stance. 'Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract,' he wrote in the post. 'While workers are on strike, I won’t be buying any Starbucks, and I’m asking you to join us. Together, we can send a powerful message: No contract
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check. “Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot and critically wounded in Midtown early Sunday morning and is now clinging to life at Bellevue Hospital, police and sources said.
The shooting took place on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue around 2 a.m., according to police, who did not identify Boyd as the victim.
However, sources said it was the 29-year-old NFL cornerback.
Cops said there have been no arrests and the shooting is under investigation.
Boyd, a 5-11 defensive back for Gang Green joined the team this year after coming up with the Minnesota Vikings before the 2019 season. He has also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has found himself in hot water after being caught up in a major scandal and is trying to cover up to save himself.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, Leah Saffian, has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then leaked straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda.
According to Saffian:

I saw this story out of Chicago today and it made me think of all the similar stories in places like Seattle, Portland and New York. The person in this story is a violent offender named William Livingston who has a long history of punching random women in the face and then walking away. Livingston has been arrested dozens of times and even gone to prison in the past, but no matter how many times this happens, he is always back on the street and going back to the same violent behavior. This week he was arrested yet again for two violent attacks that occurred in June.
Guess What: You’re Jewish!

Several years ago, my husband Steve and I were watching TV as an American politician of Hispanic descent responded to a challenging question by an antagonistic reporter.
The politician gave such an eloquent and informed answer, sprinkling his response with historical facts, literary allusions, and even dashes of humor, that when he completed his answer, Steve said, “Damn...that is one brilliant guy!”
Reflexively, I expressed what I’ve privately suspected for ages when witnessing similar scenarios: “He’s probably Jewish!”
Steve laughed, but I meant it.
Not long after this episode, I read a book by Jon Entine, a former producer for NBC News and ABC News and the author of several books.
COP30, the UN climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is crumbling.
COP30 is the thirtieth “conference of the parties.” The first took place in Berlin in 1995. At COP21 in Paris in 2015, more than 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to cut emissions and to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
About 50,000 people are attending COP30 from more than 190 nations.
The Trump administration has so far remained silent on a widening corruption scandal inside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government and inner circle. The White House did not respond to a request for comment on a $100 million corruption probe announced this week that has already prompted the resignations of senior Ukrainian officials. Corruption has long been a friction point in U.S.-Ukraine relations.
