ICE denies it organized charter flights to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport
The Times - Tribune ^ | ERIC MARK | 12/28/21

Posted on 12/29/2021 3:23:31 AM PST by P.O.E.

Questions arose Monday about which government agency organized charter flights filled with minors that landed at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport four times this month.

Jim Gallagher, president of Aviation Technologies Inc., the airport’s fixed-base operator, said Sunday the flights were listed as “ICE flights” by private charter companies.

“ICE” stands for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

However, ICE spokeswoman Mary Houtmann said Monday the agency did not organize flights that landed at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Dec. 11, 17 and 25.

“These are not our flights,” Houtmann wrote in an email.

The flights might have been organized by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, she wrote.

Attempts to verify that with Health and Human Services on Monday were unsuccessful.

Gallagher stuck by his assertion that he was informed the flights were “ICE flights.”

“The airline that contacts us sends us paperwork,” Gallagher said. “The paper trail doesn’t lie.”

Gallagher said his company provided service for previous ICE flights, but prior to this month all of those flights involved prisoner transport.

The charter flights that originated in Texas and landed at the airport in December were filled with children who did not speak English, accompanied by adult chaperones and translators rather than guards, Gallagher said.
