Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

President Donald Trump's deportation henchmen appear to have dramatically increased the use of Coast Guard aircraft to transport immigrants, according to flight data, activist flight trackers and video confirmation. Since June 23, the majority of flights operated by the Coast Guard C-27J Spartan fleet -- at least 263 flights -- are likely to have been for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), transferring immigrants to and from ICE's nexus of detention centers in Alexandria, La., Harlingen, Texas, and the Florida Everglades camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz," according to an analysis of public flight data.

We are spending all of this money to fly people around the country, and for what?

Someone picked up by ICE to be deported should simply be taken to the nearest major airport and sent on their way.

I saw this happen at work one night, it was pre 9/11 so there was no ICE back then. CBP showed up in two black SUVs, the floor man called whoever it was into the office. They let him grab his jacket and took him to Dulles for the next flight to I believe it was Dominican Republic.

What's the actual logistics need for camps?
