Classic Air received a contract worth $880 million from 2017 to 2023 for charter flights. In fiscal year 2023, nearly 149,000 noncitizens were transported by charter flight, according to ICE.

Holy fucking shit, they're making nearly $6000 per immigrant they shuttle around or deport. And the ~~concentration camps~~ prisons will make even more. They just have to pay for bare minimum "food" and the labor cost of a few thousand people who couldn't get hired as cops. Classic Air was paying for maintenance and fuel for a fleet of aircraft.

I fucking give up folks.
