This would make it much easier to traffic people out of the US with no records.
BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for ICE to use funds to buy, own and operate its own fleet of airplanes to deport immigrants, two sources familiar with the discussions tell NBC News.

Former officials say that if ICE owned its own planes, it could double the number of people it deports each month. But it would be costly.

I've been there! I took photos at one end of the bridge but didn't cross it because I have a phobia and don't cross bridges if I don't have to.
The Chain of the Rocks Bridge; an iconic abandoned span over the Mississippi River between Illinois and Missouri, just north of St. Louis, Missouri; once part of Route 66, now open for pedestrians and bikes, with one hell of a view!

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This isn’t just another bill. It’s the Project 2025 playbook written into law. This bill abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges. Read the fine print. Read the bill!

The MAGA regime’s next assault on freedoms is to go after the abortion pill and Plan B.
They want to force women/girls to give birth no matter the cost or the situation and want to jail anyone who doesn’t comply. The Handmaid’s Tale is becoming reality.
