The private jet that crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday evening is registered to prominent anti-ICE lawyers who were spending tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats in the upcoming Texas primaries. The crash resulted in seven fatalities and one serious injury.
The jet was registered to Arnold & Itkin Trial Lawyers, known for its aggressive litigation and leftist political activism, including substantial financial support for Democrat causes, particularly those opposing strict immigration enforcement and Republican policies in Texas.
The victims’ names have not been released at this time, but early reports indicate that people associated with the firm were on board.
The firm, along with another Houston-based practice, Abraham Watkins, donated $300,000 to the political action committee First Tuesday to boost Democrat candidates in the 2024 elections.
The Texas Voice previously reported:
Two liberal personal injury law firms that have combined to spend over $11 million thus far in the 2026 election cycle – including spending to influence Texas Republican Primary elections – have boasted about their work representing illegal immigrants on their firm websites.
On his website, Kurt Arnold of the Arnold & Itkin law firm brags about obtaining the “largest settlement for an undocumented worker in United States history.”
Arnold and his law partner, Jason Itkin, formed the Texans for Truth and Liberty PAC last year with an initial contribution of $10 million from their law firm. Texans for Truth and Liberty has already spent nearly $1 million, with the bulk of that spending going towards Republican Primary races.
The Truth and Liberty PAC has been funded by Soros-linked interests and has focused on challenging Republican incumbents in tort reform battles.
During the crash, air traffic control can be heard saying, “Aircraft upside down. We have a passenger aircraft upside down,” approximately 45 seconds after the plane took off, according to a PBS report.
First responders were at the scene less than a minute after the air traffic controller’s message.
Welp.
I guess the lawyers, guns and money tactic failed yesterday.
No doubt some right wing maga extremist ‘rpg’d’ it.
There are NO COINCIDES. None.
NCSWIC. Nothing.
“Several killed as private jet registered to Houston company crashes on takeoff in Maine, FAA says
FAA records show the plane is registered to a corporation with the same Houston address as the Arnold & Itkin law firm, a prominent personal injury firm.”
Landed about an hour earlier. Not known if it was deiced before takeoff.
Gee Whiz, I certainly hope it was an accident!
Thank you good sir, or mam. I’ve been promoting the Warren Zevon school of political discourse the last few days. He pegged that concern, eh?
deiced before takeoff.

Amberlamps chasers.
This is a tragedy. I hate to see the loss of a good jet.
A moment of silence for the bird who got sucked into the engine.
Part 135 air charters can legally take off in zero-zero RVR and ceiling. I Ike this, because any narcissistic lunatics that depart in zero-zero, deserve exactly what's coming. They skidded off the runway on departure and flipped upside down. GFR.
The slimiest of the slimy…
I saw this comment earlier and thought "Yes!"
Unfortunately we are at the Warren Zevon phase at this point. Everyone is sending lawyers, guns, and money, cuz the $hit has hit the fan in Minneapolis.
Karma?
Sounds like it was no loss.
If they're fighting in support of an illegal alien invasion, logic and reason are not their strong suits. Neither is law, including the laws of nature and physics.
Lol! Good one.
That’s a shame.
Hope there were no pets on board.
