Kim Kardashian’s Plane Searched by Officials Days After Blasting Trumps’ ‘Muslim Ban’[/font]

Days after she rebutted Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ with a table of statistics on Twitter, Kim and her family’s private jet has been ‘scoured’ by officials at LAX.

.... ...amid cookie-cutter approbation from celebrities all over America, it was 36-year-old Kim’s tweet of a table of statistics to her 50 million followers highlighting the statistical fallacy of President Trump’s immigration ban, two days after its imposition, that stood head and shoulders above the rest.

During the Kardashian clan’s recent well-publicized holiday to Costa Rica, younger sister Khloe also alluded to the situation back in the U.S., tweeting her 23 million followers that “All this news breaks my heart” the day after the ban was introduced. She followed up with a retweeted ACLU poster announcing the organization was working to “block the unconstitutional ban.” ....

How did Trump’s America welcome the Kardashians back home from Costa Rica?

With a raid of their private jet by immigration officials dressed in body armor, according to reports early Wednesday morning.

They had just landed at Los Angeles International when the family—including Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, Tyga, Kris, and their children—were forced to stay inside the plane while it was “scoured” by customs and immigration officers, The Sun reports.

I have been wondering when we see our first journalist succumb to a suspicious death.
