DHS Head Reportedly Authorized Acquisition of Ten Engine-Free Spirit Airline Planes That Carrier Didn't Own
The secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security allegedly approved the acquisition of Spirit Airline jets before discovering that the carrier did not actually own the aircraft – and that the aircraft lacked power plants.
This strange incident was contained in a report released on Friday, which recounted how the official and a former campaign manager had recently attempted to buy ten Boeing 737 planes from Spirit Airlines. Sources with knowledge told the paper that the two intended to use the jets to expand deportation flights – and for personal travel.
Those insiders also claimed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had warned them that buying planes would be significantly costlier than simply increasing current charter agreements.

Making the situation more complex, the airline, which filed for bankruptcy protection for the second time in the summer, did not own the aircraft and their engines would have had to be bought independently. The proposal has since been halted, according to the report.
In the interim, Democrats on the House appropriations committee said in October that during this season's historically lengthy federal shutdown, the Department of Homeland Security had already acquired two Gulfstream jets for $200 million.
“It has come to our attention that, in the middle of a government shutdown, the US Coast Guard entered into a sole source contract with Gulfstream Aerospace to acquire two new G700 luxury jets to support travel for you and the deputy, at a cost to the taxpayer of $200 million,” Democratic lawmakers wrote in a letter to the department.
A DHS spokesperson told the Journal that some details in the report about the aircraft acquisitions were incorrect but declined to offer further details.
The legislature had earlier authorized the termed “major immigration bill” in July, which dedicates roughly $170bn for immigration-related and border-related operations, a amount that makes Immigration and Customs Enforcement the most heavily funded federal agency in the federal government.
In the autumn, it was reported that the government was transporting immigrants detained as part of its removal program in ways that breached their constitutionally protected rights, often by air.
Leaked data examined from charter airline Global Crossing outlined the travels of thousands of individuals who have been shuttled around the nation before removal.
