Somali 92: Clinic and Community Collaborations to Defend Detainees on ICE Air

May 29, 2024, 1:00 to 2:30 pm

In the early morning hours of December 7, 2017, U.S. immigration authorities chained the  wrists, waists, and legs of 92 people at a private prison in Louisiana. Masked ICE special ops  officers boarded them onto a contract plane, attempting to deport them by plane to Somalia. The  flight never reached Somalia. Instead, the plane was grounded on the tarmac in  Senegal. The ICE officers told the passengers that the plane needed a repair and forced them to stay seated and shackled for 24 hours. Ultimately, the ICE Air flight returned to the United States, landing in Miami.
