Deportation efforts by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will now benefit from additional aircraft.
The Washington Post reported that the Department of Homeland Security has signed a nearly $140 million contract to purchase six Boeing 737 planes that will aid in the deportation of illegal immigrants. ICE Air Operations, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has largely used charter flight companies for deportation flights.
The 737s will reportedly be coming from Daedalus Aviation, a Virginia-based company that “offers a full range of commercial and charter aviation services” and “provides comprehensive responsive flight operations tailored to the unique needs of each mission,” according to its website.
“Earlier this year, Congress signed off on $170 billion for President Donald Trump’s border and immigration agenda over four years as part of the GOP’s sprawling tax bill. The money for the planes is coming from that funding, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss information that had not been made public,” WaPo reported.
