When she's not busying painting the border wall black, it looks like Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem could be making plans for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to own and operate its own fleet of airplanes in order to expedite deportations. The idea makes so much sense that even a Biden administration official thinks it's a good idea. [Tweet] A report popped up Wednesday that Noem was looking to use an influx of cash into ICE, courtesy of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), to equip the agency with the equivalent of its own airline

"Adios Airlines??" Oh, the names for this will be many and creative!! Meanwhile, leftists across the country will throw screaming tantrums fit to rival any overtired sugared-up toddler!!

I thought the military pilots were using military planes as part of their training.

I suggest using the old C-130 Hercules. It was reliable, slow and loud, and the seats were nets that hung off the inside of the fuselage. Yes, they were uncomfortable with all our knees interlocked, but it beat walking to deployments. If its good enough for the GI's, its good enough for the illegals.

How about those planes the 82nd Airborne uses for training? Easy peasy.

#7: Who says ICE has to inform them? Did ICE in the previous administration tell everyone when a flight arranged by the "CBP-1" app dropped a plane load of illegals into the interior of the US at a domestic airport with no US Customs inspection? I don't think so. No reason why Secretary Noem has to "play nice" with domestic enemies...

Once all the illegals are returned home, Mexico might be able to field a pretty good Olympic track and field team. As it is, all the Mexicans who can run, jump, or swim are already in the US.

Given that the goal is to get the numbers of illegal down to zero, not sure buying planes for ICE is a good idea. I am sure that the military or other government agencies have plenty of existing planes. In a pinch, you can hire a private sector carrier.

Whatever method gets those invaders back to their home lands is fine with me. If European "leaders" have an ounce of sense they will begin following our lead if they want a continent that is not a caliphate. I'm not sure that they do.

As a former Crew Chief of a C-130, I have to say, it was noisy and uncomfortable, but it was dependable. My last year was at Pope AFB and I saw a lot of grunts jump out of a perfectly good airplane, like the sign in our ready room stated.

It makes sense for them to have their own fleet. The planes would need some equipment to keep those criminals from harming the crew or damaging the aircraft. Also, to have guards watching them to keep things under control which can't be done on a commercial plane.

I thought that ICE already had use of US Government aircraft when necessary, they are referred to as being C-17s, and are assigned to various squadrons of the USAF?

His evidence is that Donald Trump had a light public schedule a couple of days after this flurry of in-person, high-stakes diplomacy.

The legal situation surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador, continues to rack up twists and turns. But while his Friday release from jail seemed like a big victory, a new development has completely changed the game. Originally deported by the Trump administration to his home country in early 2025, the case immediately drew national attention. (Snip) As it turns out, petitioning the court for release appears to have been a big mistake. According to immigration reporter Bill Melugin, the ICE is already moving to not only detain Abrego Garcia, but to deport him to Uganda.

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears attended a meeting held by the Arlington County School Board to discuss their bathroom policy after a convicted sex offender was allowed to use the ladies’ restroom by claiming to be transgender. It drew a rally of pro-transgender supporters, some of whom had deliciously racist signs for Ms. Sears, the GOP’s 2025 gubernatorial candidate. The Democrats in Virginia at least have embraced their party’s Klan roots. The sign read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.” The woman who asked not to be identified said it was satire and meant to provoke debate.

Over time, we have learned that when Democrats and the left have nothing left to fight with, they take their issues into court. They shop whatever they would like to force onto the American people around to a left-leaning Democrat-appointed judge to get the outcome they want. They couldn't stop President Donald Trump's return to the White House, so they figure they will stop anything he tries to do through the court system. It literally took an act of Congress to put the brakes on activist judges, and a few of them continue to issue edicts. But now, Supreme Court Justices have had enough and are speaking out.

The bloody results of the Biden administration's open borders just keep getting worse. Especially heinous crimes like the murders of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Joselyn Nungary have shocked the nation. They were completely preventable, and all three should still be alive. But the policies of blue states that encourage and normalize illegal immigrants are being felt in other ways as well. One of those polices is issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, many of whom can't speak or read English. One recent incident is now highlighting just how dangerous this is, and the Department of Transportation has launched an investigation.

From the Miami Herald, Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees. It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald, Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable. The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
