Chris Willenborg, the MassPort appointed director at Hanscom Field claimed on 9/24 that the agency is not notified in advance of ICE flights. Strangely, here is an email of him getting advance notice of two ICE flights with Signature saying that they will keep him updated.

Just another Sunday morning at Hanscom

ICE is back at Hanscom, now conducting daily flights - all serviced and fueled by Signature Aviation.

A list of ground handling fees charged by Signature at San Diego airport and reported to the airport authority. Obtained via public records request. Notice the flights by GlobalX which we’ve highlighted in yellow.

Today’s Signature email is also from Minneapolis. Region by region, airport by airport their management seems unbothered by ICE’s actions - and more than willing to collaborate. Will @billgates.bsky.social help stop this?

Children Across America has dropped Signature Aviation as a sponsor due to its involvement with ICE. Please consider donating to help them make up the shortfall: childrenacrossamerica.org

Another @signatureaviation.bsky.social email, this time from Minneapolis. This is the banality of evil.

ICE has returned to Hanscom. There have been five flights since Friday 9/5.

Excellent reporting by the @huffpost.com surrounding @billgates.bsky.social involvement with ICE: www.huffpost.com/entry/the-bi...

Every week roughly a hundred ICE detainees from all over New England are flown out of Pease Airport in Portsmouth, NH. History will harshly judge those who collaborated with ICE and enabled this.

Aircrew and ICE agents conducting flights out of Youngstown, OH are thought to be staying at the Marriott Residence Inn Youngstown Warren/Niles. Email Marriott’s business ethics department at [email protected], let them know this is not okay and poses a reputational risk to the brand.

Are you a public employee in Washington State? The Washington State Investment Board manages your pension. It also has invested $500 million in the Global Infrastructure Partners IV private equity fund which includes Signature Aviation in its portfolio. Your retirement - invested in deportation.

Live in New England? Contact the Pease Development Authority and let them know that simple acquiescence to ICE flights at Portsmouth airport is not okay under any circumstances: peasedev.org/contact-3/

Signature has begun taping cardboard over the company logo on its airstairs when servicing ICE flights in Seattle. If you feel the need to hide the company’s name from the public, shouldn’t it trigger serious questions about the morality of what you’re doing?

The Gates Foundation’s ethics reporting tool can be found at secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media.... Let them know that their partial ownership of Signature makes the complicit in ICE’s actions. Make sure to include some of the photos or emails from this site for added emphasis.

Want to see the impact of Signature Aviation’s willingness to work with ICE?

We just posted a large amount of content to the Signature Aviation page. If you are a Facebook user please go like the content and feel free to leave them some comments…

Make sure to see and follow us on our new Facebook page: Signature Aviation - Deportation for Profit

In 2019 the New York State Common Retirement Fund placed $500 Million into Global Infrastructure Partners IV. The GIPIV fund is a 35% owner of Signature Aviation. If you have a NY State pension, your retirement is helping fuel deportation.

This time it’s Jacksonville,FL. Notice the GeoGroup on the email thread with @signatureaviation.bsky.social

@openaccessmaven.bsky.social Ashley, did you know that the Gates Foundation profits from mass deportation? Through its asset manager, Cascade Investment, the foundation is invested in Signature Aviation which provides fuel/services for ICE’s chartered aircraft. www.wsj.com/business/air...

ICE has officially stopped using Hanscom! We’ve heard from MassPort and Concord police as well as from local media that the last flight was on 7/14. New England ICE flights now appear to be departing from Portsmouth, NH.

A list of May flights out of KBED by airlines known to contract with ICE - obtained via MassPort public records request. We have highlighted the actual ICE detainee flights. Notice the FBO and number of passengers per flight…

Based on documents recently obtained from MassPort, we estimate that no fewer than 1,000 ICE detainees have been flown out of Hanscom Field (KBED) on aircraft fueled by @signatureaviation.bsky.social since the start of the Trump Administration. The actual number is likely much higher.

@benlpiper.bsky.social Did you know that the Gates Foundation is profiting off mass deportation? Through its asset manager - Cascade Investment - the foundation has over a billion dollars invested in Signature Aviation. Fueling ICE’s planes is not okay, no matter how you use the money.

More of the same - this time in San Antonio.

Another @signatureaviation.bsky.social employee email to Boeing Field staff r.e. ICE flights.

ICE was back at Hanscom yesterday. Ground logistics courtesy of @signatureaviation.bsky.social.

Another email from @signatureaviation.bsky.social staff to Boeing Field operations obtained via public records request. They are serving as a go-between for ICE and the airport. This is the banality of evil.

This is an email from the @signatureaviation.bsky.social team to Boeing Field Operations - obtained via public records request. This is the definition of complicit.

@simonrharris.bsky.social Simon, did you know that your employer - The Gates Foundation - has invested millions of dollars in @signatureaviation.bsky.social? The company is a major provider of support for mass deportation.

Regularly scheduled Saturday morning ICE flight out of Hanscom Field in Massachusetts. Baggage loader, air stairs and aviation fuel courtesy of @signatureaviation.bsky.social.

City government in Worcester, MA has taken notice of @signatureaviation.bsky.social…

This is the reason @signatureaviation.bsky.social has avoided being tied to ICE’s actions thus far - they technically sell aviation fuel to its direct contractors, not ICE itself. It’s a technicality that lets them profit off deportations without becoming pariahs.

This is an ICE flight schedule obtained via FOIA. At the bottom is a list of fixed base operators and locations where they fuel jets for ICE’s contractors. @signatureaviation.bsky.social purchased Tac Air after this was published, making it the apparent supplier in 15 of 36 U.S. cities.

@jimyongkim.bsky.social From your global health work we believe you to be a good person. Crossing an ICE flight schedule with ARTS data obtained via FOIA, we estimate Signature Aviation may have provided support for transporting 70,000 detainees annually. As vice-chair of GIP you can stop this.

Here is a receipt for aviation fuel submitted to ICE by a private charter airline and obtained via FOIA request. It identifies @signatureaviation.bsky.social as the fuel vendor for a detainee flight leaving out of Honolulu.

Per PitchBook, the @32bjseiu.bsky.social pension fund is invested in @signatureaviation.bsky.social via the Global Infrastructure Partners IV private equity fund. Signature has assisted ICE’s contractors across the U.S. 32BJ, please reach out to us for more info or to talk next steps.

Live in Denver? Based on historical patterns we believe there is a regular ICE flight into DIA on alternating Tuesdays. It arrives from Phoenix Mesa-Gateway at 10:30-11:30am and is re-fueled by Signature Aviation. Next will likely be on 6/17. Flight number is GXA6130.

As protests continue in L.A. we want to emphasize the absolute importance of non-violence during all acts of resistance. Eschewing violence, whether real or threatened, is what separates us from them.

The Overbrook Foundation is a grant-maker focused on human rights. According to their 2023 IRS 990 form, they have $4.5 million invested in Global Infrastructure Partners IV - a private equity product with Signature Aviation in its portfolio. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

Since 2023 King County, WA has posted a log of all ICE Air flights leaving Boeing Field on its website. More than 70 total. @signatureaviation.bsky.social has re-fueled all of them. kingcounty.gov/en/dept/exec...

Today people of conscience in two different cities, separated by 400 miles, came together outside @signatureaviation.bsky.social locations to say human rights are more important than profits.

The following state pension funds are invested in Signature Aviation via the Blackstone Infrastructure Partners fund: NM State Investment Council - $650 Million PA PSERS - $500 Million ND Board of University and School Lands - $120 Million

@signatureaviation.bsky.social says in its updated code of business ethics that it strives to uphold the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We have questions…

The following entities are invested in private equity products which contain @signatureaviation.bsky.social in their portfolio:

@marksuzman.bsky.social Mark, are you aware that the Gates Foundation is profiting off mass deportation? Through Cascade Investment you hold a 30% share in Signature Aviation. Over the past two years they’ve refueled all 68 ICE Air flights leaving Seattle. Human rights matter.

Did you know that 68/68 of the ICE Air charter flights leaving Seattle since the beginning of 2024 were refueled by Signature Aviation? They’ve chosen profits over human rights. @signatureaviation.bsky.social

ICE’s social media posts pictures of undocumented people convicted of serious crimes. This is an exercise in confirmation bias and represents an inability to understand the concept of sample size. The reality is far different. www.nber.org/papers/w31440
