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.

    Wait until you see how much money this saves you at the grocery store. This is going to be one hell of a “find out” moment for a whole lot of bigots.

    You also missed the point. Why even pay the high cost of a military flight when they could just send them on commercial flights? It’s because they love the visuals of human beings in chains being loaded into military transports. They kicked the porn out of red states, so they gotta get their fetish material somewhere.
