丹佛市议会今日表决机场航空公司协议驱逐航班争议成焦点
丹佛市议会将于今日（10月13日）就丹佛国际机场10份航空公司使用协议进行表决。这批协议于10月5日被市议会以11比0全票推迟，议员们要求留出时间与移民权益组织深入讨论，并在协议中明确与驱逐航班（deportation flights）相关的保障与问责条款。
提出推迟动议的市议会临时主席萨拉·帕拉迪（Sarah Parady）表示，议员们需要更多时间厘清保护措施。议员尚特尔·刘易斯（Shontel Lewis）呼吁对驱逐航班进行监测，并将追踪信息向丹佛市民公开。
据审查，10份协议中有6份（如加航、开曼航空协议）未对移民或驱逐航班作出专门限制，也未要求追踪或公开报告。丹佛国际机场首席执行官此前在委员会上表示，引发争议的ICE航班通过固定基地运营商（fixed-base operator）单独运行，无论协议是否获批都会继续。今日的表决结果将决定丹佛机场未来数年的航空公司合作框架。
Denver Council Votes Today on Airport Airline Deals Amid Deportation Flight Debate
The Denver City Council votes today (October 13) on 10 airline use agreements for Denver International Airport. The package was postponed on October 5 by an 11-0 council vote, with members asking for time to consult immigrant-rights organizations and to spell out safeguards and accountability provisions related to deportation flights in the agreements. Council President Pro Tem Sarah Parady, who introduced the postponement, said members needed more time to clarify the protections. Council member Shontel Lewis called for monitoring of deportation flights and for the tracking information to be made public to Denver residents.
A review found that six of the 10 agreements (such as those with Air Canada and Cayman Airways) contain no specific restrictions on immigration or deportation flights, and no requirements to track or publicly report them. Denver International Airport's CEO previously told a committee that the ICE flights at the center of the controversy operate separately through a fixed-base operator and would continue whether or not the agreements are approved. Today's vote will set the framework for the airport's airline partnerships for years to come.
