A website affiliated with GlobalX, the airline central to President Donald Trump’s offshore deportation campaign, was defaced by hackers on Monday, displaying a message from a group claiming to act under the name “Anonymous.”
The targeted subdomain, when viewed by Reuters, showed a stark black background with white text and an image of the Guy Fawkes mask, a well-known symbol associated with cyber activism. The message read: “Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge's order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans.”
The cyberattack comes amid rising tensions over the Trump administration’s controversial deportation program, which included airlifts of Venezuelan migrants to an offshore detention center in El Salvador. In March, a judge ordered some deportation flights halted and aircraft returned, but GlobalX reportedly continued operations, prompting widespread criticism. A recent ruling declared the deportations unlawful, though the administration has not suspended the campaign.
GlobalX and U.S. immigration authorities have not responded to requests for comment regarding the defacement. The airline was recently the subject of a ProPublica investigation, which highlighted testimony from flight attendants raising alarm over conditions aboard deportation flights, including the treatment of shackled detainees.
The hacking incident underscores the growing backlash against the administration's immigration enforcement strategy and raises questions about cybersecurity vulnerabilities at private contractors working closely with federal agencies.
