![]() Link: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/20/luxury-jet-dhs-deportation-flights-trump-officials The department is reportedly considering buying a Boeing plane for deportation flights and for use by Trump officials A $70m aircraft the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering for deportation flights has a luxurious interior and will be used to transport Trump administration officials to engagements in comfort, according to a report published Friday. NBC News obtained images of the Boeing 737-8 Max plane showing a bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and a bar. According to the report, some DHS officials are privately questioning the necessity of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency buying the jet it currently leases. One official told NBC anonymously that the department’s stated plan to use the aircraft alternately as a ferry for senior government members and for deporting immigration detainees was “far-fetched”. |

See how the left is inconsistent! First they demand we treat migrants or “the browns^tm” humanely, now that we bought a jet for that, they complain Tap for spoilerSelash s or /j or whichever is adequate |

I know it would be great if these people all saw justice and spent the rest of their days in a cell, but I think it be just as satisfying to see their brains decorating a wall somewhere. |

At this point the evidence to the contrary is overwhelming. |

This is off topic, but why does the headline call out that the TVs are flat screen? Is it even possible to buy a non-flat-screen TV anymore? |

Maybe it was the aliens running all that sex trafficking. They were the ones in the photos with the kids. So no body here to prosecute. It was all aliens. |

Maybe they could save some money if they stopped cranking the air conditioning up all the way, trying to torture people with cold air |

Came to ask the same. I mean, obviously corrupt bullshit... but the "flatscreen" part is kinda outta touch |

Probably to show that it's not a 20 year old jet.
Yes, they're just concave now instead of convex. Also it's probably more accurate to call them a flat panel tv, as flat screen originally referred to the glass CRT being flat. |

You are aging yourself by referring to a TV as flat screened. |
