flag Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s plan to buy 10 engineless Boeing 737s for deportation flights collapsed after discovering Spirit Airlines didn’t own the planes.

flag Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faces scrutiny over a failed plan to buy 10 engineless Boeing 737s from Spirit Airlines for deportation flights and personal use, after officials discovered the airline didn’t own the planes. flag The proposed $200 million purchase, part of a broader push to expand deportation capacity, was paused amid logistical and ownership issues. flag The move comes amid criticism of high-cost acquisitions, including two Gulfstream G700 jets bought during a government shutdown, and internal tensions over enforcement strategies. flag While Noem’s hardline tactics have led to thousands of arrests, they have also drawn backlash for using riot-control weapons near children and falling short of deportation targets. flag DHS denies internal divisions, maintaining it remains on track to deport 600,000 people by year’s end.
