Donald Trump's administration is using costly military planes for deportation of illegal migrants as part of his national emergency on illegal immigration. US have sent military aircraft to several countries such as Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, Ecuador, Colombia, and India. The goal is to expedite the deportation process quickly and efficiently, with little concern for costs.
These military planes, typically reserved for war zones and disaster relief, are being deployed to carry out the largest deportation of illegal immigrants in US history. The use of military aircraft is highly unusual and has sparked international backlash, particularly from countries like Colombia.
The Trump administration is sending a strong message about its zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration. By using military planes, they're emphasizing the severity of the issue and the need for swift action. However, critics argue that this approach is not only costly but also inhumane, as deportees are being chained and handcuffed during the flights.
The financial costs of using military planes for deportations are substantial. A single deportation mission could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, far exceeding the cost of commercial charter flights. Despite these concerns, the Trump administration remains committed to this approach, citing the need to enforce immigration laws and maintain national security.
