Wall Street Journal reports Kristi Noem arranged purchase to expand deportation flights and for personal travel
The secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, reportedly authorized the purchase of Spirit Airlines jets before discovering the airline didn’t actually own the planes – and that the aircraft lacked engines.
The bizarre anecdote was contained in a Wall Street Journal report released on Friday, which recounted how Noem and Corey Lewandowski – who managed Donald Trump’s first winning presidential campaign – had recently arranged to buy 10 Boeing 737 aircraft from Spirit Airlines. People familiar with the situation told the paper that the two intended to use the jets to expand deportation flights – and for personal travel.
Those sources also claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials had cautioned them that buying planes would be far more expensive than simply expanding existing flight contracts.
It overlaps heavily with my list of members in this administration I’d like to watch defend themselves in Colosseum-style mortal combat.

It’s too bad that we don’t have real displacer beasts.
I was just writing about Billionaire Brawl elsewhere. Glad to see more people thinking about this sort of concept.
I feel you but… it’s too quick. Maybe we could do a trial where they just get drilled by smart people for several weeks about every single shitty thing they did, then the sentence could be death by mortal combat.
