The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun the process of creating a government-owned aircraft fleet to support deportation operations, emergency response and senior official travel, marking the latest step in the Trump administration's effort to expand immigration enforcement infrastructure.
According to a government notice reviewed by Bloomberg, DHS is seeking information from aviation companies on operating and maintaining a fleet that would include two C-37B aircraft or equivalent Gulfstream G650ER jets and seven Boeing 737-700 aircraft or similar models.
