ICE deported Palestinian men from Arizona to Tel Aviv using a private jet linked to Trump donor Gil Dezer, sparking legal and ethical concerns.
In January 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used a private jet owned by Florida developer Gil Dezer, a close ally of Donald Trump, to deport Palestinian men from Arizona to Tel Aviv, with transfers to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Flight records show the Gulfstream jet made multiple international stops before landing in Israel, where deportees were released at a West Bank checkpoint without support.
Among those deported was Maher Awad, a 24-year-old raised in the U.S. who had lived there nearly a decade.
The operation, part of a secretive government effort after commercial airlines withdrew from deportation contracts, has raised concerns over transparency, due process, and the legality of removing individuals to occupied territory.
Dezer, a longtime Trump donor, has publicly praised the administration’s immigration policies, and his jet has been linked to several such flights.
