ICE Barbie and 'Lover' Hatched Bonkers Plan to Buy Fleet of Jets

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her alleged lover Corey Lewandowski ordered ten Spirit Airlines jets before realizing the planes had no engines.

Officials warned the pair that purchasing the jets—which they said would be used increase deportations and for their own travel—was impractical, and that simply hiring additional flight contractors would be far less costly, The Wall Street Journal reported.

But Noem and Lewandowski went ahead and blew through the funds allocated by Congress. Officials only realized the pair’s blunder when they looked deeper into their spending spree and realized that Spirit—which has filed for bankruptcy twice—didn’t own the planes in the first place, and that the engines would have to be purchased separately, according to the Journal.

Noem and her shopping partner then purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million. But shortly after, DHS notified the Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee that the project to increase deportation flights was paused.
