Aug. 14, 2026 protest outside Stellar Aviation, host of ICE deportation flights at Reno airport
When ICE Air flights land at airports to pick up kidnapped deportees, they don't stop at the regular passenger terminal but at a private terminal -- or, in aviation terminology, a fixed base operator or FBO. At the Reno Tahoe International Airport, their contract FBO is Stellar Aviation, a private business with branches in 3 states. This was the site of the protest outside the Reno airport on August 14.
