I CRIED: Flight Attendants Describe Inhumane Conditions on Deportation Planes

The deportation flight was in the air over Mexico when chaos erupted in the back of the plane, the flight attendant recalled. A little girl had collapsed. She had a high fever and was taking ragged, frantic breaths....

MSNRAW 17 APR 2025

The flight attendant, a young woman who went by the nickname Lala, said she grabbed the planes emergency oxygen bottle and rushed past rows of migrants chained at the wrists and ankles to reach the girl and her parents.

Reporting Highlights

Unexpected Role: Flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sunseekers. Then Global Crossing Airlines started expanding into federal deportation flights.

Human Struggles: Some flight attendants said they ignored orders not to interact with detainees. Id say hola back, said one flight attendant. We're not jerks.

Safety Concerns: Flight attendants received training in how to evacuate passengers but said they werent told how to usher out detainees whose hands and legs were bound by shackles.

Lala was accustomed to the hard realities of working charter flights for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. She?d learned to obey instructions not to look the passengers in the eyes, not to greet them or ask about their well being. But until the girl collapsed, Lala had managed to escape an emergency.

Lala worked for Global Crossing Airlines, the dominant player in the loose network of deportation contractors known as ICE Air. GlobalX, as the charter company is also called, is lately in the news.

Two weeks ago, it helped the Trump administration fly hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador despite a federal court order blocking the deportations, triggering a showdown that experts fear could become a full blown constitutional crisis.

In interviews with ProPublica, Lala and six other current and former GlobalX flight attendants provided a window into a part of the deportation process that is rarely seen and little understood.

For migrants who have spent months or years trying to reach this country and live here, it is the last act, the final bit of America they may experience.

All but one of the flight attendants requested anonymity or asked that only a nickname be used, fearing retribution or black marks as they looked for new jobs in an insular industry.
