Global warming is getting worse because of the deportations conducted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), says the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper. [some emphasis, links added]
“We’ve seen a staggering increase in all U.S. immigration [enforcement] flights,” Savitri Arvey, a research director at the pro-migration Human Rights First group, told the newspaper for a May 26 article, which then claimed:
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) air operations pumped into the air an estimated 335,876 tonnes (370,240 US tons) of carbon emissions in 2025, up 88 percent from the year before.”
But a quick comparison to the U.S. domestic airline industry shows that ICE [flights] produce just one-thousandth of the greenhouse gases produced by the domestic airline industry, and one two-thousandths of all aircraft emissions in 2017.
For those extra emissions, ordinary Americans get the benefits from deporting many of President Joe Biden’s economic migrants, including lower crime, less diversity, higher wages, cheaper housing, and more citizen influence in their society and nation.
ICE is operating roughly three times as many flights every month in 2026 as it did in 2024 — roughly 1,800 flights vs 600 flights — partly because ICE often transports illegals from northern states to holding centers in Texas and other southern states.
Migrants usually have to be detained for several weeks before ICE can get them through the various hurdles created by pro-migration progressives.
Immigration advocates remain desperate to inflate the minority opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation policy.
“The pollution that these flights cause is causing harm to every single family in the United States.” Brett Heinz, global policy coordinator at the pro-migration American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), told the Guardian‘s writer, Alexandra Villareal.
She formerly worked for a pro-migration group, the National Immigration Forum.
“When we try to inflict suffering on immigrants… it also inflicts suffering on ourselves, on everyone,” he said, adding, “There’s no one that escapes when we’re trying to increase human misery.”
Sheridan Gorman’s mom: “President Trump called us — and despite what people might think, he did not say one thing political. He just basically held us. His whole team calling out wonderful, supportive things. He spoke to us as a father, as a grandfather.”

Meanwhile, Americans are speaking up about the crimes inflicted by the very illegal migrants defended by American progressives and the U.K.’s progressive newspaper.

Illegal immigrants in the United States primarily come from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Venezuela. Each of those countries has lower emissions per capita than the United States. So returning these people to there home country reduces world wide emissions. Those who advocate permitting immigration into the United States are normally the same people who advocate strong action on climate change. Yet, the advocated immigration increases world wide emissions.
