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?
