YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump’s administration started using C-17 military planes for deportations in January, signaling a hard line against migrants. A WSJ analysis of aircraft and flight tracking data found that these military flights are more expensive and less efficient than ICE’s typical civilian deportation flights.

WSJ’s Shelby Holliday reports why the use of C-17s for deportations is a more expensive use of taxpayer money.
