US Immigration Enforcement Chartered Private Jet to Deport Palestinians to Occupied West Bank
A shocking revelation has come to light about the US government's secretive and highly politicized operation to deport Palestinian detainees from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Israeli-occupied West Bank. A private jet owned by Florida property tycoon Gil Dezer, a longtime business partner of former President Donald Trump, has been used twice to transport Palestinian men from Arizona to Tel Aviv.
Dezer's connection to Trump runs deep, with him being a donor to the president and a friend of Donald Trump Jr., as well as being part of the Miami branch of Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. This raises serious questions about the role of politics in the deportation process and the potential for human rights abuses.
The flights have been linked to a shift in policy driven by the Trump administration's aggressive mass deportation campaign, which has marked a significant increase in deportations under his watch. Former US officials and immigration lawyers have stated that these flights and Israel's involvement in returning Palestinians to the occupied territory are part of a broader pattern of cooperation between ICE and Israeli authorities.
According to reports, the cost of chartering these flights to Israel has ranged from nearly $7,000 to over $26,000 per flight hour. Aviation industry sources estimate that the total cost for both flights would be around $400,000 to $500,000.
The use of a private jet to transport Palestinian detainees has sparked widespread criticism and raises concerns about accountability and transparency in the deportation process. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact policy decisions and human rights protections for migrants and refugees.
