Original Date Announced
February 19, 2026NBC News reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sought approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to purchase a $70 million Boeing 737 Max 8, which DHS officials have described as a "luxury jet," to use to deport immigrants and transport cabinet members. A DHS spokesperson stated that the plane, which is equipped with bedrooms, showers, a bar, and multiple flat-screen TVs, will be partially "retrofitted" to use for deportations. However, one DHS official involved in the procurement request stated that the idea that the plane will be used for deportations is "far-fetched."
