Summary
The U.S. military’s deportation flight to Guatemala, ordered by Trump, cost approximately $4,675 per migrant—over five times the price of a first-class commercial ticket.
The C-17 military aircraft operation is significantly more expensive than ICE’s commercial charter flights, which cost around $630 per person.
Trump defended the policy, vowing to continue deportations and warning countries that refuse cooperation.
The program, part of Trump’s national emergency declaration, has already deported hundreds, though some countries, like Colombia, have resisted.
Or instead of making up fake officials, you could google “Fixed Wings and Helicopter Reimbursement Rates 2025”, look up C-17A and see that the hourly rate is $19,862.
Your gotcha is that it only cost $3000 per person to deport them?
There is no gotcha, I am just pointing out a blatant lie.
