The company went on to make the initial purchases for Noem\u2019s eyebrow-raising luxury jets and seven other ICE deportation planes, Axios reported. <\/p>\n<p>A DHS spokesperson told the outlet in a statement that the Noem holdovers were \u201call valuable members of Secretary Mullin\u2019s team,\u201d and all \u201cplay key roles in helping to make America safe again.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The statement also emphasized that Mullin had rescinded the $100,000 contract review memo to \u201cstreamline the contract process and empower components to carry out their mission to protect the homeland and make America safe again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=625\">Trump\u2019s Big Election Boast Immediately Blows Up in His Face<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has also reached out for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio of senior officials who managed to hang on even after former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was fired are facing blowback as the department\u2019s watchdog probes her tenure.
