A federal appeals court said that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can keep using a Seattle airport for chartered deportation flights, which is positive news for the incoming Trump administration.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a 2019 local executive order that tried to go against President Trump’s immigration policies. The court said that King County, Washington, broke its contract by not letting deportations happen at King County International Airport, which is also known as Boeing Field.
