    This is VERY COMMON practice for these situations.

    Maybe it shouldn’t be. You know, what with accountability being a thing that people should be held to…

      Should an airman’s family be targeted by cartels because they flew cartel members back to their home nation?

        That’s a good point.

        Maybe we shouldn’t have them do that in the first place either and if there are dangerous cartel members in the U.S., they can be put in U.S. prisons.

          And after serving prison times what do we do? Most nations kick you out after you serve time in prison for serious crimes. How do you send them home?

            Last I checked, planes not run by the Air Force flew to pretty much every country on the planet. Also, there are boats. And if we’re talking the Americas, cars and trucks.

            And if they have served their time, why do they need to be deported in a military plane?

              Do we deport criminals housed in prisons for being dangerous people using commercial carriers?

              They are being permanently exiled for their crimes why would ypu compromise that by letting them wander free?

                I see. You think we should continue to treat former prisoners like prisoners even though they’ve served their sentence.

                How very American of you.

                  If we are exiling someone for violent crimes why would they be free to roam the nation? You do not have the right to live anywhere other than the nation you have citizenship in. That isn’t “American” of me as that is the law in all nations.

                    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.
