(The Guardian) DHS confirms it will buy new fleet of Boeing planes to carry out deportations
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that it has signed a nearly $140m contract to purchase six Boeing 737 planes for deportation operations.
The contract with the Virginia-based firm Daedalus Aviation, was first reported by the Washington Post on Wednesday and later confirmed by DHS.
In a statement to the Guardian, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said: “We are delighted to see the media is highlighting the Trump administration’s cost-effective and innovative ways of delivering on the American people’s mandate for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens. This new initiative will save $279m in taxpayer dollars by allowing ICE to operate more effectively, including by using more efficient flight patterns.”
She added: “President Trump and Secretary Noem are committed to quickly and efficiently getting criminal illegal aliens OUT of our country.”
According to the Washington Post, funding for the new fleet will come from the congressionally approved $170bn budget allocated for Trump’s border and immigration policies. That budget also includes funding for new detention centers, ICE enforcement operations and construction of the border wall.
