GUATEMALA CITY – About 45 minutes before the descent, the guards went up and down the corridor to untie the passengers, and the mood in the cabin began to improve. A mother with a boy near the front still cried, but they were the only family aboard the flight. Almost all the other 93 deportees were men, and they joked and talked excitedly.
Soon Guatemalan territory appeared under it, foggy and green. A cheer rose.
"Do you see? They smile! "Said Matt Albence, incumbent director of the US Immigration and Customs Bureau, who spends a lot of time defending his agency's core functions, including: a one-way trip with ICE Air from the US. "That's probably better than some of the commercial flights I fly on."
The deportees will meet Thursday at an airfield in Alexandria, La., To prepare for the flight to Guatemala. (Nick Miroff / The Washington Post)
