Original title: There's an Avelo 737 on the ground at Joint Base Andrews
Avelos planes often get used by DHS to shuttle the chained and detained immigrants off to Central and South America.
Its down at the south end near the Air Force One hangar.
Is there anyone in Baltimore MD or Farmville VA DHS wants to remove from the US today?
Update, 10:25: it is taking off now. I went outside and saw it. Its headed due west.

(67,189 posts)I just checked. The plane is over Columbia, Missouri, at a steady altitude.
My money is on Colorado Springs CO. But why Avelo? Thats a strange visitor to Andrews. And why was it parked next to the AF1 hangar?
The mystery continues.
