PRIVATE JET PROBE
Kardashian clan’s plane is searched by border patrol officers after Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Kylie land in LA from Costa Rica as protests sweep US airports
KIM Kardashian's private jet has been searched by immigration officials at Los Angeles Airport — days after Donald Trump's 'Muslim travel ban' came into force.
The reality star was forced to stay on board the flash plane, which had taken her and her family home from a trip to Costa Rica, as officers scoured it.

Footage taken from near the runway at LAX Airport shows immigration and customs officials marching up the stairs leading to the jet's door.
It comes after Kim waded into the debate over President Trump's controversial ban, which prevents travellers and refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the US for three months.
A Syrian refugee programme launched under President Obama has also been halted indefinitely.
On Sunday the selfie queen tweeted a table of stats to her 50 million followers comparing Americans killed by terrorists to those shot by fellow citizens.
The post, seen as a dig at the new President, was retweeted nearly 400,000 times.
After being spoken to by Customs and Border Protection officers, Kim and her family were snapped leaving the plane.
Earlier the 36-year-old mum-of-two was seen getting ready for the six-hour flight home.
