    What are you even talking about now? You said they should be deported after serving their sentence. I’m saying if they’ve already served their sentence, why do they need to be treated like a dangerous criminal and deport them on an Air Force plane? Put them on a United flight to wherever. If they’re such a risk on a plane, have a sky marshal sit next to them on the flight. They’re allowed to be armed and they don’t have to wear anything that identifies them. What is this cartel member going to do?

    They transport prisoners still serving sentences domestically that way sometimes. They don’t use the Air Force because it’s one guy on a plane and that’s silly.

      Because if they are being exiled never to return to the USA you deport them through non-commercial means because they aren’t free to interact with society. They do not have the right to wander the nation as non-citizens forbidden from being in the USA.

      It is not the job of commercial flight crews to be involved in the legal deportation of violent criminals forbidden to access any part of the country. If the criminal decides to violate the agreement to leave the flight crew has zero recourse to stop them. The air marshal is a single guy on a plane. You are mistaken if you think the USAF is putting these deportees under the eye of a single guy.

      Finally by placing them on government planes rather than commercial planes the government can be assured the criminal’s nation can take them into custody when appropriate.
