This Strauss Center and Kino Border Initiative report on lateral flights is the first publication to
focus exclusively on the population that was transferred out of South Texas. The report describes the Border Patrol’s lateral flights and bussing, highlights the transferred population’s demographics, and describes these individuals’ experiences during the expulsion process. It relies heavily on the Kino Border Initiative’s intake forms, but also includes Witness at the Border data on lateral flights and interviews with civil society organizations.
