An unseemly spat over a $464 million fleet of jets that has been barely used has taken off at the Department of Homeland Security.
At the back end of last year, DHS splurged on 10 airplanes in a rushed procurement process that the department said was vital for enacting President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy, which had “unusual and compelling urgency.”
The fleet included three luxury jets—including then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s notorious Big Beautiful Jet, later used to ferry Trump officials around the world—and seven older 737s. They have now been left for months in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with an internal document obtained by The New York Times saying DHS lacked the crews to fly them.
