Protesters at Maryland airport call for state to cut ties with Avelo Airlines over deportations

Sunday's demonstration was organized by a coalition of grassroots groups, including Doctors for Camp Closure, the Baltimore Rapid Response Network, and Maryland Indivisible chapters.

Protesters say deportations in Maryland have tripled since the start of the year. They also point to federal data showing nearly 20% of all U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) air flights in July were operated by Avelo.

Avelo, ugh. Used to use them for cheap flights back home, I stopped after the ICE flights started.

Do these count as actual deportations or something else, like extreme rendition or human trafficking?
