The Department of Homeland Security is soliciting proposals from aviation companies to operate deportation flights around the clock, both domestically and internationally. The planned fleet includes two Gulfstream 650ER or C-37B planes and seven Boeing 737-700s, with staff such as pilots, flight attendants, nurses, and security personnel to be hired through contractors. the flights will handle deportations, voluntary repatriations, crisis responses, and medical evacuations. This initiative originated under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.Additionally, most ICE deportation flights currently use private chartered planes, but officials believe government-owned aircraft would be more cost-effective.ICE also plans to acquire about 10 commercial aircraft to transition from chartered flights. Recent reports indicate a rise in immigration detentions, with tens of thousands detained in a short period, despite fewer high-profile immigration enforcement operations. DHS emphasizes that it intends to carry out criminal immigrant deportations, asserting a strong stance on <a
