Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's plan to buy unused Boeing 737s from bankrupt Spirit Airlines for deportation flights stalled due to major logistical and factual issues.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly sought to have ICE buy ten Boeing 737s from bankrupt Spirit Airlines for deportation flights and personal travel, but the plan stalled due to major inconsistencies: Spirit does not own the planes it leases, the aircraft lacked engines, and the airline has not operated a 737 since 2012.
The proposal, reported by the Wall Street Journal, faces scrutiny over cost, feasibility, and transparency, especially amid criticism of Noem’s $200 million private jet spending during a government shutdown.
Spirit is returning 114 planes to lessors as part of bankruptcy restructuring.
DHS acknowledged inaccuracies in reporting but did not clarify which details were incorrect.
The deal is now on hold.
