flag Court rules federal government can continue deportation flights through Seattle airport, overriding local ban.

flag The 9th U.S. flag Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the federal government can continue using Seattle's airport for deportation flights despite a 2019 local order by King County Executive Dow Constantine that sought to block such flights over human rights concerns. flag The court found that Constantine's order violated federal authority and a World War II-era agreement allowing the federal government to use the airport. flag This decision upholds a lower court ruling and permits deportation flights to proceed.
