California police say they thwarted a vigilante deportation attempt last week — in which a pilot allegedly kidnapped a foreign student, took him to an airport and tried to send him “back to China.”

Jonathan McConkey, a pilot and certified flight instructor, is accused of orchestrating the kidnapping with his assistant, Kelsi Hoser, a ground instructor. Both reportedly worked at the IASCO Flight Training school in Redding, Calif.

Among IASCO’s students were dozens of Chinese nationals with student visas, according to court records. KRCR News 7 reported the school contracted with China’s civil aviation authority to train its new pilots, one of whom was apparently Tianshu “Chris” Shi.

Shi, 21, told the Record Searchlight that he had been in the United States for about seven months — living with several other IASCO trainees at an apartment in Redding.

It was there, police said, that McConkey and Hoser came for the student.

There has to be more to the story, why didn't the instructor just kick him out of the flight training program and then Shi would have to leave the country. And how where they going to fly from a municipal airport to china on what and with who? Its just so bizzare there has to be more.

From reading the article it appears they have appointed themselves to decide who is worthy of staying based on how well they speak engrish.

"The pair’s plan, Shi told the Searchlight, had been to fly him to the Bay Area, then put him on another plane to China."

But I agree, it's still an unbelievably moronic plan.

Did they think they could escort him through security all the way to the gate?

Sounds like they figured if they scared and threatened him enough he would just go on his own accord. I don’t think complex rationalization is high on their list of skills here.

Agreed, I have a suspicion someone was fucking someone else’s wife or woman.

Yup, Trump supporters, who only care about the constitution when it comes to the 2nd amendment, have appointed themselves judge, jury, and executioner.
