Traveling in Style: Noem Acquires Two Luxury Jets for DHS

Just a couple months ago, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was lobbying to get herself just one new $50-million jet to carry her to her international fascist photo ops. Now she’s ordering two luxury Gulfstream jets for her imperial travels at a cost to us taxpayers of $172 million:

The Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, has purchased two Gulfstream G700 luxury jets for top officials – a deal worth about $172 million that is now fueling questions over how the agency paid for them and why it needed two.

According to records reviewed by The New York Times, the jets marketed by Gulfstream as offering “the most spacious cabin in the industry,” were bought for what a DHS spokesperson said was “a matter of safety.”

The spokesperson said in a statement that the department’s existing jet was more than 20 years old and “well beyond operational usage hours for a corporate aircraft” [Andrea Cavallier, “Kristi Noem Gets Luxury $172M Jets She Had Asked for Prompting Questions over Where the Funding Is Coming From,” The Independent, 2025.10.18].

No word yet on how much gold leaf Her Highness will be stamping on the jets.
