‘Not one person has been notified’: Abilene Regional Airport becomes hub for undocumented immigrant transportation

ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been using the Abilene Regional Airport as a hub to transport undocumented immigrants across the country, and their mysterious operation has left local officials, legislators, and citizens wondering why this is happening and where the immigrants are going from here.

KTAB and KRBC shot video of strange activity at the airport, such as immigrants getting off unmarked planes, getting frisked, then getting onto buses. Other video shows these buses arrive at the airport and let the immigrants off, where they then board planes to anywhere in the country.

Abilene Director of Transportation Don Green says the airport is only given 24 to 48 hours notice before the flights arrive and they aren t aware of what exactly is going on only that the planes are private charters from ICE.

I wonder if this is remotely legal.
