They state the plane is specifically for “high-profile deportations.”
High On Your Dime: The DHS Luxury Jet Scandal: DHS this weekend scrambled to defend its plans to purchase a luxury Boeing 737 Max jet for $70 million. A spokesperson claimed the plane would be used for deportation flights, which supposedly “saves the American taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars.” That’s not what official documents say. They state the plane is specifically for “high-profile deportations.” So Kristi Noem’s DHS joins Rupert Murdoch, Mukesh Ambani – one of the world’s richest men – and Tony Robbins as the owner of this type of luxury mega jet. We obtained the floor plans for the aircraft, which DHS staff reportedly call Secretary Kristi Noem’s “big, beautiful jet.” It appears to be a flying palace. A sales listing brags that this Boeing 737 Max “redefines luxury travel” and “caters to the most discerning of travelers, offering an exquisite flying experience like no other.” Here’s what your tax dollars are going toward: A “VVIP Cabin Configuration” – that’s Very, Very Important Person — seating just 17 passengers on a massive Boeing 737. It includes two private bedroom suites with queen sized beds. Two showers (in prior administrations even the First Lady’s plane didn’t have a single shower). Multiple bathrooms with electric bidets. A separate buffet bar. Multiple ultra-HDTVs. And a lounge with a wet bar and wine chiller. Take a look here, then ask yourself: Does this scream “deportation efficiency” or “Barbie’s dream plane?”

The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

What a story:
“Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship.
“The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country”
