Biden admin resumes migrant flights to suburban New York: report
The nightly flights were first reported in October
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Biden administration has resumed sending charter flights of migrants to an airport in suburban New York.
The effort, first highlighted in October by the New York Post, is reported to have resumed as illegal immigrants continue to pour into the country, according to a report from the Post Friday.

The Post reported that one bus traveled to Walt Whitman Service Area in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and arrived shortly after midnight Friday morning. That bus contained "several teens" who left the scene with individuals who were waiting for them to arrive.
Flight records revealed that the flight that landed at the Westchester airport left from El Paso International Airport in Texas with a stop in Jacksonville, Florida, the report said.

In January, leaked footage was revealed which showed migrants being transported on secret charter flights under the cover of night from southern border states to Westchester, New York.

"The government is betraying the American people," a federal contractor told a Westchester County police officer in a conversation recorded on the officer’s body camera on the tarmac of a Westchester airport Aug. 13, 2021.
