So sorry to hear that Avelo's decision to profit off of authoritarian misery-transit didn't pay off as handsomely as they hoped.
NEW: Avelo’s ICE flights have been a fiasco, internal documents show.
Serious safety lapses, poor planning, mechanical issues, an emergency landing — and they’re not even making as much money as they hoped they would.

She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

Update: TikTok sent us a comment saying our story “deliberately distorts and sensationalizes how we respond to legal requests.”
They again did not answer our Qs about whether they’re sharing data with ICE, or why it is no longer their policy to tell you before they give the government your data.
