... The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Wednesday that it has agreed to buy six Boeing

737 planes to be used for deportations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Washington Post first reported DHS' contract for the nearly $140 million purchase of the 737s from Daedalus Aviation.

The Virginia company's CEO and CFO hold identical roles in a separate company, Salus Worldwide Solutions, that has a nearly $1 billion contract with DHS to support voluntary "self-deportation," The Post noted. ...

When Nuremberg 2.0 starts those same 6 planes will be used by MAGA't politicians, propagandists, and executives to flee the USA.

When Nuremberg 2.0 starts

We don't do accountability for rich politicians in this country, or George W. Bush would have been sent to the Hague for torture.

Will these planes come with engines, or will some ICE blowhards just sit on the tail and huff and puff? Asking for some concerned passengers...

So now DHS has to hire jumbo jet-qualified pilots to fly these machines.

What a waste of money, time, and resources.

One AI Snaphot:

"The US government spent approximately $140 million to purchase six Boeing 737 jets for ICE deportation operations in 2025.
To put this cost in perspective, the World Food Program (WFP) estimates that it costs about $0.50 to provide a nutritious meal to a hungry person in developing countries. Using this figure:

$140 million could provide approximately 280 million meals.

If each person receives one meal per day, this amount could feed about 767,000 people for a year.

When DHS and ICE are finally dismantled in a future, humane administration, what will become of these flying prisons?

Do Republicans understand how much more this costs, compared to just putting them on commercial flights?

Is there an adult Republican in the DR who can speak to the cost issue I just raised?
