Delta Co-Pilot Arrested By Feds On Charges of Child Abuse Material
A co-pilot of Delta Air Lines was apprehended by officers from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) due to allegations of child sexual assault.
The dramatic arrest occurred at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday night, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
The publication stated that the flight from Minneapolis landed around 9:35 p.m. after experiencing two delays during its approach because of heavy fog. Upon arrival at the terminal gate, passengers disembarked normally until a scene of chaos unfolded.
Sarah Christianson, a passenger, informed the magazine via email that a group of roughly ten individuals, equipped with “badges, guns, and various agency vests/markings,” advanced up the aisle towards the cockpit, where the co-pilot was located.
They then proceeded to “storm the cockpit” before apprehending the co-pilot and escorting him down the aisle and off the aircraft through the cabin doors situated between the Coach and First-Class sections, she recounted to the magazine.
The aviation blog “A View From the Wing” shared a video of the incident, which depicted law enforcement entering the cockpit area of the plane to execute the arrest.
The identity of the co-pilot has not been disclosed.
This incident occurs amidst a wider initiative by President Donald Trump’s administration to increase arrests and deportations.
Last week, Trump commended ICE officers for their daily efforts in “reclaiming our Sovereignty and Freedom,” highlighting their role in his plans for the most extensive mass deportation operation in U.S. history.
“I want to extend a heartfelt ‘THANK YOU!’ to the Heroic ICE Officers who are working tirelessly every day to reclaim our Sovereignty and Freedom,” Trump expressed in a post on Truth Social.
He emphasized his signature immigration proposal, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as essential for providing ICE with billions more in funding to fulfill its immigration enforcement responsibilities.
“One of the most thrilling aspects of the ‘ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT’ is that it encompasses ALL of the Funding and Resources that ICE requires to execute the Largest Mass Deportation Operation in History,” Trump stated.
“Our courageous ICE Officers, who face daily violent attacks, will finally receive the necessary tools and support. We will not allow America to devolve into a Third World Country plagued by crime, failing educational institutions, collapsing healthcare systems, and complete social dysfunction,” he stated.
“This initiative is termed ‘REMIGRATION’ and it will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Border czar Tom Homan, in a shocking revelation, disclosed that he is currently living apart from his wife due to the death threats he has received during an interview with Miranda Divine of the New York Post last month on her podcast, “Pod Force One.”
“I dedicated a significant amount of time to my sons while they were growing up, but as I progressed in my career — ascending the ranks of what I have accomplished with ICE as director and now returning — I find that I do not see my family as often,” Homan remarked.
“My wife is currently living separately from me, primarily due to the extensive hours I work, but more so because of the death threats directed at me,” the nation’s leading border enforcer elaborated. “She is in a different location. I visit her as frequently as possible, but the threats against me and my family are intolerable.”
Homan held the position of acting ICE director during the initial Trump administration but opted to retire after his nomination for the permanent position was stalled in the Senate due to concerns regarding his tenure at the agency.
Homan recounted that Trump selected him for his role within days following his overwhelming victory over then-Vice President Kamala Harris. He characterized this pivotal moment to Divine as an offer that he simply could not decline.
