Of all the corrupt things Trump has done, this is in the top 3 most disgusting and crooked -- wiping out law enforcement's ability to track the money launderers who are helping the worst criminals (Trump and his friends included, no doubt) hide their ill-gotten wealth.

Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin are blaming each other for ICE buying 10 planes to deport immigrants — without having the crew to fly them. The planes have largely sat idle, minus three lux jets being used to ferry around top officials like Kash Patel

Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them.

The agency used a no-bid contract to buy 10 used jets, saying they were urgently needed for deportation flights. But the fleet has largely sat idle for months.

Trump's DHS has spent $2.2B buying immigrant detention centers from private prison giants CoreCivic and GEO. Remember: both were among Trump's biggest donors in 2024 and have secured millions in lucrative federal contracts since his return to power. Never forget who profits from Trump's cruelty.
