In an attempt to reduce the costs of carrying out President Donald Trump's mass deportation plans, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reached an agreement with a Houston-based budget airline to conduct removal flights from Arizona.
Starting in May, Avelo Airlines will open a new base out of Arizona that will facilitate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to carry out deportation flights by using three aircrafts to "support the department's deportation efforts."
