'ICE Air:' Illegal immigrants sent packing home after caught in sweep

bostonherald.com/2019/06/06/ill…
Immigration officials said "Operation Crosscheck," which netted suspects all over New England who were already ordered out of the country but still committed a crime, are all being flown home.
Some will be put on Boeing 737s owned and operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or similar jets chartered by ICE. A few others, an immigration official said, will be escorted on commercial flights by ICE agents.
"We call it ICE Air, similar to 'Con Air,'" the official told the Herald Thursday following the announcement of the 32 illegal immigrants caught in the sting.
An "ICE Air" flight leaves every week out of Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth, N.H. Trips are made to staging areas in Louisiana and Texas. Those being deported are then flown to Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Africa and elsewhere as needed, the official said.
