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”.
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?
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’re asking the right question.
Came to ask the same. I mean, obviously corrupt bullshit… but the “flatscreen” part is kinda outta touch
