Police escort for flyer

[Anonymous]

Yesterday while waiting for an international flight, I saw a man standing with 2 police officers. They then went and sat all together in the boarding gate area. When it was time to board, they waited until everyone had boarded then the 2 officers escorted him onto the plane and then they left the plane. When we landed, they had police waiting at the plane door and they escorted him to the passport visa area. Clearly he was from the destination country as he was chatting and laughing in the same language with the police and shortly after, he shook their hands and left on his own.

I was guessing he was denied entry or being deported and our destination country was his homeland. Just curious if this is how deportations work?

What country

Could have been something else - my dd is friends w/ a family where the dad is an ambassador, so they all have secret service. For some reason when they travel, instead of sec svc, they have police at the airports

Oh interesting, I hadn't considered that but it could be for security as well.

My cousin works for homeland security and part of his job is to escort people being deported back to their home country. Every time he has done it, the two officers actually fly with the person being deported. He does this every 1-2 years. He’s gone to Europe and Asia mainly.

I’m a FA. He was likely a prisoner being transported. Did they sit all the way in the back of the plane?

No, he sat in the middle of the plane. The police didn't stay on the plane. They just escorted him on.

Denied entry most likely. They put you back on the next plane.

VIP boarders who rate sec measures (ambassadors, governors, cabinet or priority subcab) have this BUT they always board first. For governors usually they have a plain clothes statie with them, not always though. The boarding at the end signifies it's not a VIP but a denied entry or relocation flight.

Years ago, I was at a meeting where one person told a story about being escorted onto a flight, sitting in the back row with the two rows in front of him left empty except for his escorts, waiting till everyone else got off and being escorted off the plane to the arrivals area. He overheard another passenger comment that he was the best behaved federal prisoner she had ever seen.

He was CIA DDO at the time.

Would there be a police escort onto and off the plane for denied entry? I feel like denied entry happens relatively often given the Border tv shows I have seen...would they do a police escort for everyone denied entry?

They don’t. This was more than a denied entry (police do not meet you in the home country for a mere denied entry).
