@npr: Minneapolis now has daily deportation flights, taking immigration detainees caught up in President Trump’s sweeping federal immigration campaign that started there back in December. One professional airplane enthusiast has been tracking the federally chartered flights. He carefully documents how many people are put on each flight, as the Trump administration declines to release any detailed data in its immigration enforcement operations.

Great reminder than resistance takes many forms. Sometimes it’s standing with your coffee, counting

Ginger Snap x :

Hey NPR, hope you’re prepared to protect him now that this story is out. You essentially said he’s up there all alone and unless your security detail will keep him company from now on, this story is extremely reckless.

Hank107 :

Thank you Nick for documenting this horrific time we are in.

Winnie :

He takes this work so seriously that he won’t look away from the lens to talk to the reporter. Truly a hero

declarer :

Oh no they will probably kick him out now. Sometimes we need to move in silence.

LK :

If this is a misdemeanor, why are they being treated like dangerous felons? Feet and ankles shackled? Pure cruelty

A Mom McGaw :

Please protect him now that you have let people know he is there

Diabolical_D :

God save the NPR, PBS and all those who value actual journalism

Rpm :

Protect this man. Also, I hope they don’t kick him out for “security reasons”.

Nick is one of our most dedicated volunteers.

Protect this man from harm or interference

Queen Christine :

Their lack of transparency is obviously deceitful

Gregory K :

Keep this man safe.

420beepboop :

Protect this man at all cost

J :

How lost is the US, when not 1 out of the 1,100 BILLIONAIRES stepped up to save npr or pbs😢

Emily :

These people’s final moments in Minnesota, they think no one sees them, Nick does ❤❤❤

I’m scared for him. He’s doing very important work

glitterkerri :

The next Democratic candidate better tell me they’ll abolish ICE. That is the only way you’ll get my vote

Zan_The_Meximan :

Plain racism from the Trump admin

Valkyriewriter :

How have we sunk so low?

blankybuba :

Wow Nick. You’re a hero. Thank you for your time and energy.

He is a patriot.

We’re paying for this. Might be time for a tax strike.
