The department is reportedly considering buying a Boeing plane for deportation flights and for use by Trump officials

A $70m aircraft the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering for deportation flights has a luxurious interior and will be used to transport Trump administration officials to engagements in comfort, according to a report published Friday.

NBC News obtained images of the Boeing 737-8 Max plane showing a bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and a bar.

According to the report, some DHS officials are privately questioning the necessity of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency buying the jet it currently leases. One official told NBC anonymously that the department’s stated plan to use the aircraft alternately as a ferry for senior government members and for deporting immigration detainees was “far-fetched”.
