A charter flight carrying more than 100 ICE detainees landed at Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire around 1 a.m. on Monday, February 24, 2026, for a scheduled refueling stop before continuing to Bulgaria. The airport received only 15 minutes' notice of the arrival. A severe nor'easter with winds up to 35 mph and temperatures around 22 degrees prevented the aircraft from being towed to the terminal. Detainees remained on the tarmac for approximately 12-13 hours before being moved to a terminal around 2:45 p.m., where they were provided food, water, restrooms, medication, and welfare checks. The flight departed Tuesday morning after weather conditions improved and flight crew rest requirements were satisfied, landing in Sofia, Bulgaria.
