ICE Flights Surge at Penn State Airport | Harrisburg News

Penn State’s airport, now set for a transfer to county control, has become a key hub for ICE’s expanding air network—seeing flights surge from two in 2025 to 107 by July, ferrying detainees between detention centers. While ICE says it’s just managing bed space, immigration experts warn these flights are designed to isolate people from legal support and families, hindering their ability to fight deportation. With federal funding and no legal grounds to refuse these flights, the airport’s role in this growing deportation infrastructure is raising ethical and operational questions as Penn State shifts focus back to education.
