DHS Buys 737s for Deportation Ops
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has finalized a nearly $140 million contract for six Boeing 737 jets to dramatically expand its capacity for deportation flights, shifting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to operating its own dedicated fleet. This acquisition is a cornerstone of the Trump administration's ambitious plan to deport one million people and launch the "largest deportation program in American history," with officials projecting significant taxpayer savings and enhanced efficiency.
