The Department of Homeland Security’s purchase of six Boeing 737 aircraft is intended to streamline deportation operations and reduce costs, supporting the Trump administration’s goal of removing one million migrants this year. Officials emphasize that the dedicated fleet will allow ICE to operate more efficiently and lower taxpayer
expenses. In parallel, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has proposed expanding travel bans to additional countries, citing concerns over criminal activity and security risks. These measures reflect a broader push by the administration to tighten immigration enforcement and overhaul vetting processes following high-profile security incidents.
