Summary
The U.S. military’s deportation flight to Guatemala, ordered by Trump, cost approximately $4,675 per migrant—over five times the price of a first-class commercial ticket.
The C-17 military aircraft operation is significantly more expensive than ICE’s commercial charter flights, which cost around $630 per person.
Trump defended the policy, vowing to continue deportations and warning countries that refuse cooperation.
The program, part of Trump’s national emergency declaration, has already deported hundreds, though some countries, like Colombia, have resisted.
How many? Which danger? Do you know that these are dangerous people or have you just heard the line that some of them have committed crimes? They will always mention this in order to get people to associate immigrants with criminality, but it is always kept very vague. The vagueness enables them to round up whoever they choose, while claiming that “some” people in the group are criminals. They could round up everyone on your street, or everyone on your family, and send them away on this basis.
If you have seen something I haven’t, and know that theres more to it than this attempt to color the reputation of whole groups of people, I’m open to new information. But that’s what it seems like to me.
