It sounds like Trump wants to get back into the airline business, though this time, with a different kind of “Trump Shuttle.”
The Trump administration is of course trying to greatly increase the number of deportations. Trump has vowed to deport one million undocumented immigrations per year, and in his first six months in office, ICE deported somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 undocumented immigrants, including voluntary self-departures.
This means that if Trump wants to reach that “goal,” the administration needs to greatly step up its number of deportations. On that note, NBC News is reporting that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to own and operate its own fleet of airplanes for deportations, with the goal of doubling the number of people that can be deported each month.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
