A flight plan has now been filed for ICE Air deportation flight OAE 3787, indicating that after refueling in Baltimore, the aircraft will continue on to Jasionka, Poland, near the Ukraine border. It is highly likely it is the reported flight of Ukrainians to Poland.
An ICE Air deportation flight (OAE3787) departed Phoenix, AZ at 14:45 EST and is en route to Baltimore, MD for refueling. It is still very early to confirm but this is possibly the reported deportation flight to Poland carrying Ukrainian nationals. We will be closely monitoring.
