## Resource

French soccer stars like Kylian Mbappé, known for their outspoken opposition to far-right politics, are flying on planes also used by ICE for deportations — revealing a troubling overlap in the charter flight industry where sports teams and deportation flights share the same aircraft. This practice, seen with GlobalX Airlines, isn’t unusual — planes switch between high-profile clients like national teams and government agencies to maximize usage. The revelation came after a video surfaced of players on a GlobalX flight, creating a stark contrast with their public stances against racism and xenophobia. It’s not just France — England and Iran’s national teams have also used the same airline during the World Cup, with football associations largely staying silent. The episode exposes the tangled web of global sports, politics, and commercial aviation — forcing questions about who we choose to partner with and what it says about our values.
