More than 130 flights, carrying people ICE says are in the country illegally, have taken off from Richmond International Airport so far in 2026. Protesters are demanding that the flights stop, but airport officials say there’s not much they can do to stop the federal government's transit. 

VPM News’ Keyris Manzanares spoke to one man who’s been watching the airplanes on the tarmac at RIC for months now.
