Fox News's Jennifer Griffin highlighted the significant cost differences in transporting migrants using military flights compared to standard ICE flights. A recent article indicates that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem plans to utilize Guantanamo Bay for housing high-risk migrants, including those with criminal backgrounds. Two military flights recently transported such individuals from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Guantanamo Bay. The reported operational cost of $28,500 per hour for C-17 flights raises questions about budget efficiency compared to the $8,500 per hour cost for ICE flights, prompting Griffin to connect the issue to broader national security implications.
It costs $28,500 an hour to fly a C-17, compared with $8,500 an hour for a standard Immigration and Customs Enforcement flight.
Griffin shared a Wall Street Journal article detailing how Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem plans to use Guantanamo Bay to house migrants that ICE says have a criminal background.
