Convicted felon President Trump’s regime, which until Saturday had been flying deportees on military aircraft simply because “military deportation flights” sounds more ominous and badass (no there’s no actual proof of this but fucking seiously, what the hell other reason did the have?), have now ended the practice due to the high costs relative to using standard ICE aircraft, not to mention first class commercial tickets, the Wall Street Journal reports on the administration making progress in its quest to massively cut waste, fraud, and abuse of American taxpayer dollars.
The military had flown roughly 30 trips on Air Force C-17s, three of them to India, which cost $3 million each alone. Costs for flying migrants to Guantanamo were estimated at $20,000 per migrant.
