An NYT headline reading: Homeland Security Expands Deportation Fleet With High-End Jets

My headline from April 15 reading: Water is wet, and DHS's 'deportation fleet' boondoggle expands under Markwayne

The hed and dek of my story from February reading: ICE FLIGHTS Noem's luxury 'deportation' jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. Gillian Brockell 26 Feb 2026 - 9 min read

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

Kinder, Gentler State Violence. Donald Trump wants to make ICE just like every other law enforcement agency, and the Democrats want to let him.

when we pretend the issue with ICE is that they’re masked and untrained and ‘different’ from law enforcement, what you get is unmasked ICE in airports instead of any real change. latest:

Hegseth forces out Army’s top general Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest in a series of clashes between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership, and comes amid the ongoing war in Iran.

Hegseth's repeated moves to purge the military of anyone not judged a Trump loyalist should set off major alarms. But, because Hegseth presents as such a buffoon, his role in Trump's authoritarian project is underrated.

I for one cannot believe the Trump administration keeps fucking over its high-profile female appointees, it’s almost like aligning yourself with people who hate you based on your identity will ultimately backfire? Can’t be right

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite.

if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

someone in IG comments said this has been called sane washing and that does feel correct

I am not pointing this comment at anyone in particular, but: The TSA line has already been a fraught place for brown and Black travelers for as long as it has been around. The racism might get worse tomorrow, but it isn’t going to start tomorrow. That is all.

all I’ll say is that I hope Adrian Vermuele is right about one thing only (that there is an afterlife and in it evil people get punished forever)

Esmeralda Lopez had some incredibly powerful comments in the piece to this effect

seeing Chavez’s legacy be swiftly and correctly decimated is a powerful reminder that we as a society could, actually, hold people accountable when credible allegations are made that they are child molesters

ICE protesters keep beating Trump in Chicago court, but the battles take a toll — 'It’s about intimidation' Cases against 17 of 32 people charged with crimes during Operation Midway Blitz have already collapsed, and no one has been convicted. But federal prosecutions are daunting, they carry the threat of p...

Several people have been cleared of federal charges tied to Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago. But they still had a price to pay.

For example, the 17 cleared defendants spent a combined 150 days in federal custody, records show.

the USA was doing violent regime change for the sake of rich people’s bottom line way before the President was implicated in a child sex trafficking ring and that doesn’t make the latter any less important but also let’s be fucking serious please

Judge orders 32 detainees released over ICE consent decree violations, but some have already been deported Two who could be released were among 37 detained during the feds' Sept. 30 raid of an apartment complex at 7500 S. South Shore Drive.

A federal judge ruled from the bench Friday that ICE arrests of 32 people during Operation Midway Blitz violated a consent decree, and that they should be released.

But the @chicago.suntimes.com is told many have already either been released or deported: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Chicago real estate firm leasing an empty prison to ICE Highlands Real Estate Investment Trust looks to profit from President Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.

new: highlands reit, a small chicago-based real estate firm, is renting an empty prison it owns in colorado to ice and private prison giant geo group.

highlands is part of a network of private contractors hoping to get a cut of the $45 billion allocated to warehouse immigrants through 2029.
