⚡️ "PIVDENNYI PORT" IN FLAMES! Trump prepares STATEMENT after intelligence report!: https://benborges.xyz/2025/12/22/quotpivdennyi-portquot-in-flames-trump.html
Iceland Air flights ICE43E, ICE615, and ICE623 are flying over southern Quebec (almost to Vermont) right now. They took off from KEF within 4 minutes of each other, and it looks (from the tracker) like they're flying in a formation of sorts.
(They have different destinations.)
I've never noticed this before. Seems weird.
(I first noticed on my radio-powered ADS-B tracker, but they're on FlightRadar24 etc.)
Apparently (I wasn’t part of the group, got the report when I arrived on the scene) there was a caravan of multiple vehicles following ICE. Several ICE vehicles cut dangerously into the caravan and forced the observers’ cars to stop. That’s when they smashed the person’s window and took them.
It sounds like multiple people got video. I hope you don’t see it, for the safety of those whose faces might appear in the video. But I hope you believe me anyway. This is all really happening.

I feel the need to stress, even though it should go without saying, that the person who was kidnapped out of their car was not obstructing or interfering. They were doing nothing illegal, and nothing wrong. They were part of a caravan following ICE at a safe distance, driving legally, not even stopping their crimes, not even slowing them down — just making sure their crimes were recorded.
