Trump Admin Building Own Fleet of Deportation Planes to Operate 24/7 - Tired of Having to Depend on Charters, Third Parties​


The Trump administration is laying the foundation for a faster pace of deportations by building a fleet of planes to carry illegal immigrants out of the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security is currently asking aviation companies to propose how they would operate deportation flights and also respond to emergencies, according to Bloomberg.

The fleet of planes would include two C-37B or Gulfstream 650ERs and seven Boeing 737-700s or similar types of planes.

The fleet would operate 24/7 for domestic and overseas flights.

Contractors would be hired to provide pilots, flight attendants, and auxiliary staff that could include nurses and security.

The flights would include deportation and voluntary repatriation flights, as well as transporting crisis response teams and medical evacuation staff.

The effort to build a fleet of deportation aircraft began under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Most Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation flights use chartered aircraft owned by private companies.

Department officials have said in the past that government-owned planes would be a cheaper option in the long run.

ICE was looking to buy about 10 commercial aircraft this spring as part of its transition from charter flights to operating its own flights, according to SimpleFlying.

A recent report from WABC-TV said that although high-profile immigration sweeps are no longer a major part of ICE’s agenda, immigration detentions are rising.

The report said that in five days at the end of June, 10,000 people were detained.

“Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump’s promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists,” DHS said in a statement.

“Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you,” the statement said.

Planes, trains n no automobiles.......no planes either....trains are the ticket...lots of trains....lots n lots of trains...
 
Instead of purchasing the planes out of Homeland's budget as ICE is part of DHS, why not just use .mil reserve aviation assets? Even toss in some active duty assets. Not like we don't have cargo planes. That way we can get those aircrews their hours, save some funding for other ICE related projects, and deport illegals at the same time. They're being deported, they don't need the comfort of a commercial airliner, they can sit on the web seats that are good enough for our service personnel to use.

Best part, if they use the sections with seats attached, we could train the aircrews or provide a refresher in LAPES. Let the drogue out as the aircraft flies low over the desired deportation destination and wa-la! entire seating sections exit the aircraft all at once.
 
Obama was a champ at deporting people. Find out what he did.
U.S. Deportation Trends (2000–2026)
Historical data from the Department of Homeland Security’s ⁠Yearbook of Immigration Statistics details these major eras:
  • Early 2000s: Deportations hovered around 180,000 to 200,000 annually before accelerating during the George W. Bush administration. [1, 2, 3]
  • The Obama Administration (2009–2016): Set historical peaks. Removals reached an all-time high of approximately 432,000 in 2013 before steadily declining. A large majority were of recent border crossers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • The Trump Administration (2017–2020): Interior deportations following ICE arrests quintupled, but overall removals fell—peaking at roughly 348,000 in 2019—due to declining unauthorized arrivals at the border during parts of his term. [1, 2]
  • The Biden Administration (2021–2024): Overall removals averaged approximately 329,000 in 2024, utilizing different enforcement strategies and relying on border expulsions (like Title 42). [1, 2, 3]
But what we know, is Trump can do it more effectively. And soon. Time's a wastin'
 
Planes, trains n no automobiles.......no planes either....trains are the ticket...lots of trains....lots n lots of trains...
Um... trains to WHERE? Granted, Mexico is currently pretending to cooperate with us, but if we don't fly these invaders across an ocean to a place which is somewhat familiar, they'll be wading the Rio Grande in a week!

I wonder if the deportees will bust a hole in the plane's bathroom wall to dispose of their but" wipe, like they do here???

Your first paragraph makes sense, so I wonder why they're trying to spend more money we don't have rather than do it that way? Heck, they use national guard troops to guard city streets so why not use AF Reserve & guard to fly these missions too. As you said, the aircrews could get their training hours in, and we could use mil security police, nurses, and medical officers if needed rather than hiring civ contractors! Hummmmm.... it makes sense, so that's why we can't do it!

Efficient, but I'm not sure the law allows us to use military assets for that sort of thing. The libbos would pitch a fit, throw a tame judge at it, legal shenanigans ensue, and that just wastes time.
 

But, Trump hasn't kept his word on deportations, say some here.....


DHS Confirms Over 3 Million Total Deportations, Highlights Arrests Of Five More "Worst Of The Worst" Criminal Illegals​

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday arrested five more “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens convicted for heinous crimes, including voluntary manslaughter, criminal indecent exposure, aggravated assault, and fentanyl trafficking.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), more than three million illegal aliens have left the United States due to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown: 2.2 million self-deportations, and over 985,000 deported by DHS.

Each of the five violent criminals highlighted by DHS Tuesday were arrested in deep blue sanctuary cities where anti-ICE agitators continue to harass immigration officers.

  • Fernando Ruiz-Maldonado, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for voluntary manslaughter in Los Angeles, California.
  • Sergio Loya-Lozano, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for criminal indecent exposure, hit-and-run, and TWO counts of driving under the influence in San Jose, California.
  • Olman Josue Pineda-Jimenez, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, convicted for aggravated assault and harassing communications in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • Heriberto Hernandez-Sosa, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, convicted for fentanyl trafficking in Worcester, Massachusetts.
  • Jose Manuel Pertuz-Pena, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, convicted for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in Cook County, Illinois.

Immigration agents continue to carry out their law enforcement duties in blue sanctuary enclaves despite the left’s relentless coordinated campaigns of violence against them.

According to DHS, immigration officers have experienced a 1,300+ percent increase in assaults against them, a 3,300 percent increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000 percent increase in death threats.

“Every single day, we are REMOVING criminals from American communities. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, sexual predators, violent assailants, drug traffickers, and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
“Under the Trump Administration, the Department of Homeland Security is enforcing the law, deporting criminal illegal aliens, and defending the homeland. It’s no wonder crime rates have reached historic lows.”
DHS has listed over 40,000 illegal alien criminals on their Worst of the Worst (WOW) website which tracks ICE arrests of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, violent gangbangers and arsonists.

A DHS spokesperson told American Greatness Tuesday that over 985,000 illegal aliens have been deported since President Trump took office. An additional 2.2 million have self-deported.

“In President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations,” the spokesman said via email.

“As of July 12, we have now deported over 985,000 illegal aliens and arrested over 1 million illegal aliens.”
