This morning's "Border Links." Go here for a version with working links: adamisacson.com/daily-border...

1/9 November ICE Air report and some key points follow in this thread. ICE Air continues removal flights to Venezuela after a 2-week pause with 3 in Nov , for total of 7 (including Dec 1). Mexico resumes deportation flights with 10, but now pauses for lack of funding (new in Dec).

Always an important piece from Stephanie Leutert and the Strauss Center with insights on the border ports. www.strausscenter.org/publications...

ICE Air deportation to Haiti will be landing in about 20 minutes with a reported 17 deportees. 1 flight per month since Dec 2022 with generally less than 50 people per. This is the 289th flight under this Admin returning about 27,218 people to Haiti: 1 of every 420 people in Haiti.

Thank you @RepBarragan and @HispanicCaucus for this strong stand against the extreme anti-immigrant “compromise” discussions with Republicans who are bent on destroying asylum in the US.

Rs want to gut parole programs. Here's what Doris Meissner, a high level immigration official for many years, told me: “Canceling parole would significantly heighten the pressures on the border and the numbers of migrant crossings. It’s the opposite of what’s needed to strengthen border security.”

People should be absolutely infuriated by the extreme demands that Republicans are making in exchange for supporting Ukraine aid. I have some ugly new details for you on what's really going on in these talks. The GOP bad faith is off the charts. Free link to my new piece: wapo.st/3R3lH1A

ICE air small jet (14-16 passengers) deportation flight to Africa coming up. Stops so far scheduled in Senegal (may just be fuel), Liberia, and Cape Verde.
