Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is apparently too bougie for budget economy. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is seeking approval from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget to purchase a luxury jet for $70 million, two Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News in a report published Thursday.

According to the report, DHS recently leased the Boeing 737 Max 8 and now wants to buy the aircraft that comes with a bedroom with a queen-size bed, showers, a kitchen, four flat-screen TVs and a bar.

The outlet also obtained a brochure for the jet, which notes that the aircraft features “exceptional interior design by renowned New York designer Peter Marino.” “No expense has been spared and every detail has been meticulously executed,” the brochure read.

Officials told NBC that ICE said the jet was necessary for Cabinet officials’ travel and would also be used for deporting migrants. When asked by NBC how the posh plane would be used to remove migrants, a DHS spokesperson said: “At least one of the bedrooms is currently being converted for seating to prepare the aircraft to meet the demands of its deportation mission set.”

The minute they drive it off the lot, it's going to lose 30%.

I swear from the Felon on down, nothing but a bunch of divas. How much is spent on hair and make-up alone. And that's only counting POTUS and V.P.. Then you have Noem and Patel with wardrobe and having hissy fits over the wrong costume (Patel) and firing pilots over her missing binky(Noem) and I'm not talking about Lewandowski her actual pacifier, just nasty.

6. Does Noem not have an office?

Why does she fly so much? In this era of instant communication it seems completely unnecessary.

who needs an office? A "swanky" bedroom anywhere, will do.
