Undocumented immigrants deported through Dallas Love Field amid World Cup controversy

Activist groups have documented ICE-affiliated charter flights operating out of a private hangar at Dallas Love Field airport since May 2026, used for detainee transfers between detention centers and deportation flights to Mexico. As the city hosts the 2026 World Cup, faith leaders and immigrant rights organizers are calling for public accountability over the city-owned airport's role in deportations, arguing the operations occur outside public scrutiny despite happening on city property.
