ICE AIR OPS HIT RECORD: 1,014 ‘SHUFFLE’ FLIGHTS IN OCTOBER; DEPORTATIONS REACH 77 COUNTRIES

Human Rights First’s ICE Flight Monitor through October 2025 documents an accelerating surge in ICE air operations under the Trump administration: over 10,600 total enforcement flights year-to-date, a record 1,014 domestic detainee “shuffle” flights in October, and deportations to 77 countries including 24 first-time destinations. The report raises serious concerns about due process and in-flight treatment, including prolonged shackling and use of full-body restraint suits (the WRAP).
