Avelo Airlines has become the first commercial airline to contract with ICE for secretive deportation flights—flights with no guarantees of due process or legal counsel. Human beings are being chained hand to feet inside of Avelo jets, and denied adequate food, water, and movement. The conditions inside these jets are so dangerous that Avelo staff have complained to Avelo corporate about inadequate safety for the passengers aboard.

Despite calls for the Albany County Airport Authority, the Albany County Executive, and the Albany County Legislature to kick Avelo out of our community, our elected leaders have failed to take action. It is time to make our voices louder and DEMAND that Albany County leadership and officials cancel its contracts with Avelo. We will not tolerate a corporation that facilitates the kidnapping of people for profit in our community.
