England have hired a plane for the World Cup that ICE agents used to transport deportees out of the US as part of Donald Trump’s immigration plan, its been claimed.
The same craft reportedly being enjoyed by the likes of Declan Rice and Harry Kane even featured in a video shared by the US President that showed men, alleged to be Venezuelan gang members, being extradited to El Salvador, according to The Daily Mail.
The footage shows the men being escorted by heavily armed police officers on and off the plane, before being sent to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT high security prison.
The bizarre connection appears to have taken place as a result of Three Lions administrative staff using the same charter company Global X as the US Government does to transfer deportees to countries around the world, including Haiti, Honduras, and Mexico.
The very same plane was also reportedly used by Iran’s team while flying from their training base in Tijuana, Mexico to Los Angeles ahead of their opening fixture versus New Zealand.
This latest revelations follows the bizarre incident of England’s training gear being stolen from the back of a van.
Players’ boots and crucial training gear were allegedly “stolen in transit” during the heist. England staff loaded a van with crucial equipment ahead of the move to Missouri, including analysis kit, Tuchel’s whiteboards, and massage tables, and were stunned when they failed to turn up in Kansas City.
Sky Sports claim most of the equipment has now been recovered.
Staff were reportedly left racing against the clock to source replacement gear ahead of the Three Lions opening fixture against Croatia tomorrow (June 17).
Two arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
In a statement, Kansas City police wrote: “We are investigating a possible theft of equipment from a team vehicle that arrived in Kansas City with items missing this evening. The investigation is ongoing.”
