🤨 Avelo really doesn't like us noticing what they're doing to migrants. First, they painted their ICE planes all-white to protect their brand.
Now, their planes are changing how they park at Boeing Field to obstruct cameras that were set up specifically to observe their activities.
SHAME!

ICE Air Boeing Field - Avelo N801XT Thu 19 June 2025 ~11am PDT
Avelo N801XT landed, but they stopped the plane before turning around and obscured their activities. So no estimate of the number of abductees taken off or put on the plane.
1 bus + 1 van present.
Maybe King County will add a cam.

Wondering how this happened? This is the team picked by President Trump, who stored classified documents in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom.
There’s no media conspiracy here—they are careless about national security, & it puts us in danger. Hegseth & Waltz should be fired immediately.
