Police have identified four victims of a deadly private jet crash that occurred just days into President Trump's mass deportation operations, with the aircraft belonging to a law firm that has made millions fighting ICE and defending illegal immigrants.
The Bombardier Challenger 600 crashed shortly after takeoff on January 25 from Maine's Bangor International Airport, killing all aboard. The jet belonged to KTKJ Challenger LLC, registered to the Arnold & Itkin law firm in Houston, Texas—a firm that has built its reputation as fierce opponents of immigration enforcement.
Led by Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin, the firm has been described as housing "top anti-ICE/anti-Trump lawyers" who have "made waves fighting conservatives in Texas and defending illegal aliens," according to reports. The timing of this tragedy is particularly striking, coming just five days after President Trump launched his promised mass deportation campaign.

Arnold & Itkin has raked in massive profits by representing illegal immigrants in lawsuits against federal immigration authorities. The firm's luxury private jet—now a twisted wreck in Maine—represents the kind of wealth these lawyers have accumulated by obstructing America's immigration laws.
While the investigation into the crash continues, the incident highlights the high-stakes world of immigration law, where liberal attorneys have built empires fighting the very policies that President Trump and millions of Americans support.
"These lawyers got rich protecting people who shouldn't even be in our country," one immigration enforcement advocate told reporters. "Now Trump is finally delivering on his promises to clean house."
The crash occurred as Trump's deportation machinery kicks into high gear, with ICE agents conducting sweeps nationwide. Firms like Arnold & Itkin have historically thrown up legal roadblocks to such operations, but the Trump administration appears undeterred.
As families mourn the victims of this tragic accident, it serves as a stark reminder of how the immigration debate has consumed American politics—and enriched those who profit from keeping our borders broken. Will Trump's deportation blitz finally overwhelm the legal obstacles that have protected illegal immigrants for years?
