The Trump administration is implementing a major expansion of its deportation capabilities with a $140 million contract for six Boeing 737 jets, allowing ICE to operate its own deportation flight fleet rather than relying on charters. This initiative is part of a broader $170 billion immigration enforcement package approved by Congress, as the administration targets deporting at least 1 million people within its first year in office.
