US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse unleashed a fiery attack on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, grilling her over reports that DHS is buying a $70 million luxury jet complete with a bedroom. The tense Senate Judiciary hearing exposed deep frustrations over federal enforcement tactics, with Whitehouse accusing DHS of unprofessional courthouse operations while questioning the justification for such an extravagant aircraft. Noem pushed back, insisting the jet is congressionally mandated and cost-saving, but the clash laid bare mounting scrutiny over spending priorities and agency accountability.
