Donald Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda Has A Surprising Stakeholder: Bill Gates
HuffPost
One of the billionaire's investments has become a linchpin in the day-to-day machinery of Trump’s immigration enforcement apparatus.
President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda has a surprising stakeholder: Bill Gates.
The multibillionaire tech mogul and philanthropist owns a large portion of a key service provider for immigration flights.
And now, with new funding from Congress and an aggressive push from the White House, more and more immigration flights are taking off, transporting immigration detainees both within the United States and to their home countries — or, in some cases, to places they’ve never been before.
Gates’ connection to the U.S. detention and deportation machine is a company called Signature Aviation. Signature calls itself “the world’s largest network of private aviation terminals,” and it’s a linchpin in the day-to-day machinery of Trump’s immigration enforcement apparatus.
