I spoke with this pilot, Marshall Chipley, yesterday about this and ways we could remedy this issue(s).

Multiple independent sources on the ground, and public flight logs, confirm what he's saying happened here actually happened. The flights were turned around in flight due to this and returned to Ohio where they were coming from.

I wasn't going to mention this publicly yet but since he already did I feel comfortable posting his video here.

I also have spoken with several different entities (national & state level politicians, large media organizations, etc...) over the past 24/36 hours since these planes were turned away and exposed what's happening to the public. Wheels are turning behind the scenes but I'd guess nothing will come out publicly until Monday at the earliest because that's how government/media work.

I'll make an update video when I the details are all in place but you should know - all the supplies y'all are donating to the US Veterans Corps for this effort will still be flown into east Tennessee and delivered to the people who need it without further government intervention. I can not say how due to OPSEC (we're literally smuggling aid past/around government organizations) but I can assure you they are still going in and if you continue to drop off aid or donate to that organization it will go forward without interference.
