Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.

Then there's this Global X plane that started the day in Alexandria, LA, went to Miami, El Paso, Harlingen, then back to Miami, landing at 8pm. Was it holding Guatemalan kids? Maybe! But also, it was NOT on the ground at 1pm Eastern, like Drew Ensign said. 8/

I found that particularly interesting because a lot of the kids in the lawsuit were last staying in California. And because at 1pm Eastern (UTC1700) it was flying at 34,000 ft over Tucson. But again, who knows? ICE Air doesn't say shit. 7/

It's also possible (likely) Drew Ensign got bad info and/or gave bad info. But here's another Global X plane, using the ICE callsign (TYSON), that today went from Harlingen to El Paso to San Diego then back to Harlingen. 6/

I don't see any evidence of a flight taking off and returning before 1pm Eastern. But again, I am only looking at known ICE carriers. And since ICE Air doesn't share anything about its operations, I suppose it is possible this happened on one we don't know about. 5/
Gillian Brockell (@gbrockell.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
What about the other planes? The children's attorneys said they had learned they would be leaving from Harlingen and El Paso. At about 1pm Eastern, Drew Ensign told the court he believed all of the planes were on the ground in Texas, and that one may have taken off and returned. 4/
Gillian Brockell (@gbrockell.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Now that plane left Harlingen at about 8:30pm local time tonight, landing at ICE detention hub Alexandria, LA, about an hour later. Was it finishing returning some of the Guatemalan children, or was it just getting in position for tomorrow? Who knows! ICE Air doesn't talk about its operation! 3/
Gillian Brockell (@gbrockell.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
The plane that most of the children were loaded onto that never left Harlingen, which NBC filmed here, appears to be a Global X Airbus A321 (reg. N570TA). No flight data for that time, but that's normal for the boarding process. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm... 2/
