Summary
- Delta passenger accuses airline of flying migrants from Arizona to Latest York, sparking debate on X.
- St Clair’s claims are unconfirmed.
- Arizona has seen an influx of migrants crossing the border, resulting in a request for National Guard troops.
A recent Delta Air Lines passenger has taken to X (formally Twitter) to specific her dismay at her recent flight experience from Phoenix to Latest York, where she accused the airline of flying migrants from Arizona to Latest York.
Ashley St. Clair has claimed that the domestic flight was stuffed with migrants who were let loose of a close-by immigration penitentiary near the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).
St. Clair quizzed the Skyteam alliance carrier, who responded, “What does it matter? They’re humans, too.”
Bags from the processing center
With many asking how St. Clair could provide you with such an accusation, she claimed they were all carrying bags from the processing center and had ‘visited the border and processing centers.’ Her viral post on X has already had over 19 million views and has been shared over 10,000 times. Many subscribers to the platform have commented on this transparent two-sided debate, with many siding together with her claims and lots of discouraging her behavior. Elon Musk, X’s owner, even weighed in, stating, “Good Questions, I won’t hold my breath on them answering.” Nonetheless, sarcastically, Musk has previously said he’s pro-immigrant, highlighting his beliefs on a previous trip to Eagles Pass, Texas, stating:
“As an immigrant to the US, I’m extremely pro-immigrant and I imagine that we’d like a legally expanded immigration system and that we must always let anyone within the country who’s hard-working and honest and might be a contributor to the US.”

St Clair went on together with her accusations to Delta, noting that in her travels in a premium cabin, migrants seated next to her had undergone special medical screening before boarding the flight. Newsweek had contacted Delta, who didn’t confirm whether the passengers were immigrants.
An influx of migrants to Arizona
With many migrants crossing the border into Arizona, the state sees a solid influx of those crossing the border. The Arizona State Governor Katie Hobbs recently asked President Joe Biden to mobilize the Arizona National Guard troops to help the Tuscon Border Patrol, including Lukeville (a crossing closed indefinitely on December 4th).
Comparing Delta Air Lines’ Asia Network In 2023 Versus 2010
After the merger with Northwest, Delta Air Lines inherited many fifth freedom flights from Tokyo Narita.
Delta Air Lines operates a modest network from the Arizona airport, connecting Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and St. Paul, Latest York–JFK, Salt Lake City, and Seattle Tacoma. Latest York–LaGuardia is currently serving but is poised to be suspended starting February twenty fourth next 12 months.
The carrier also operates at Tuscon, serving Atlanta, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Seattle Tacoma.
