There is no limit to the evil of the leftists and their incessant actions to keep illegal aliens in this country no matter what. Here is the story of Avelo Air that was contracted by the federal government to do deportation charter flights and is now facing expulsion from BWI airport in Maryland for helping the government enforce US immigration law.

The Maryland state government is facing increasing pressure from activists to boot Avelo Airlines from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). The activists object to the discount airline operating ICE deportation flights on a charter contract for the US Department of Homeland Security. When Avelo announced the contract in May, it immediately faced a wave of public backlash.

This includes boycotts, protests, and calls for legislators to take punitive action. Avelo operated nearly 20% of all ICE deportation flights in August, according to flight tracking data compiled by TTW. The airline has struggled financially and says that the revenue opportunity from operating deportation flights is “too valuable not to pursue.” However, its decision has left it exposed to potential action by state legislatures such as Maryland and others.

However, even if the Moore administration sought to remove Avelo from BWI’s lineup of commercial flights, Maryland Matters notes that it cannot prevent Avelo from running immigrant detainee flights out of BWI. That’s because those trips are overseen by the federal government, and while the state controls the terminal and associated businesses, it does not have jurisdiction over airport runways, control towers, or other flight operations.
