Kristi Noem's
controversial $70 milion luxury jet will remain under the Trump administration's purview as First Lady
Melania Trump will be among those who get to use it.
Some of the President's Cabinet secretaries will also be allowed to use the aircraft, which was originally purchased to help with Trump's mass deportation agenda, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The jet was bought by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and featured a bedroom, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar, according to images obtained by NBC News in February.
The aircraft had already been leased by DHS and was used for a recent trip by Noem to
Tel Aviv.
A spokesman for DHS affirmed that the $70 million jet was purchased prior to the confirmation of new Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
'This aircraft will be available to Cabinet members who need secure command and control and rapid long-range mobility,' they added.
The White House referred reporters to the DHS when asked for comment.
During its bid to buy the plane, ICE claimed it would be used for deportations and travel by Cabinet officials, including DHS leadership such as Noem.
