ICE said that some of the illegal immigrants aboard the flight had been convicted of serious crimes, including murder and rape.
Some 122 illegal immigrants were deported to China on June 3 as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration enforcement efforts, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said on June 9.
ICE stated that the deportees, aged between 19 and 68, were placed on a “special high risk charter flight” after receiving final removal orders from detention facilities where they had been held in the United States.
