The Trump administration has initiated its pledged deportations of undocumented immigrants this week, but according to senior Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, there is an urgent need for additional aircraft to accelerate the process.
Miller conveyed to reporters that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has struggled with insufficient aircraft, which has slowed down deportation activities. The administration is now attempting to secure more planes from multiple sources to expedite removals, as Bloomberg reported. Deportation flights commenced, with ICE actions noted as early as Tuesday, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming the start of these flights on Friday morning via social media, showing images of individuals boarding C-17s.
Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Department of Homeland Security has issued memos under Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman, focusing on revising parole policies and expanding the capacity for rapid deportation of recent arrivals. Miller highlighted that the administration plans to utilize various methods to locate and deport those who entered the country under humanitarian parole.
Border Czar Tom Homan has stated that military aircraft will be employed daily to support these operations. Approximately 2,000 migrants were sent back to Mexico on Thursday, utilizing both ground and air methods. Meanwhile, Mexico itself detained around 5,000 migrants within its borders. The necessity for more aircraft was reiterated by Leavitt, emphasizing that the administration is using a mix of military and commercial planes for these missions.
Moreover, preliminary reports suggest that up to 250,000 children were born to undocumented migrants in 2023, adding to the complexity of the situation.
This current push for deportations underlines a significant shift in policy compared to the approach during the Biden administration, which notably did not use military aircraft for such purposes, opting instead for commercial flights when necessary.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
