Ireland examining report that US deportees flight stopped in Shannon
May 23, 2025
Dublin [Ireland], May 23: Ireland is examining a report that a flight carrying deportees from the US to Africa, against a judge's order, stopped at an Irish airport.
The New York Times reported that a plane carrying eight deportees, in violation of a court order by a federal judge in Boston, stopped at Shannon Airport this week.
The judge had barred the US administration from deporting people to countries that were not their own without giving them enough time to object. "I'm trying to establish the facts on this now in real time, because I'm aware of the US media reports," Ireland's deputy premier, Simon Harris, told RTE Radio on Thursday. (PA Media/dpa)
