The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has spent nearly $140 million to purchase six Boeing 737s to build a fleet specifically used for deporting undocumented immigrants. Reports indicate that this move marks a shift in immigration enforcement from long-term reliance on charter flights to having its own transportation capabilities, with funding coming from the four-year $17 billion budget approved by Congress for the Trump administration's border and immigration agenda. Officials familiar with the contract revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) planning is more ambitious than simply replacing aircraft, signaling that future deportation operations may expand further.
