Everyday ICE Air takes to the not so friendly skies. These are federal government deportation flights that don’t always take their passengers out of the country.

Guest: McKenzie Funk is a reporter at ProPublica’s Northwest hub and is based in Bellingham, Washington.
His new report is titled “At Seattle’s Boeing Field, Real-Time Video Offers a Rare Glimpse of America’s Troubled Deportation Flights.”
