Kim Kardashian West’s private jet has been searched by immigration officials at LA Airport just days after Donald Trump imposed his ‘Muslim travel ban’.

The reality star was returning from a four-day trip with her family to Costa Rica when the plane was boarded by customs officials.

After being interviewed by officials, Kim and her family were caught on camera leaving the plane, the Sun reports.

The inspection comes just days after Kim responded to Trump's 'Muslim ban' by tweeting statistics on the number of Americans killed by Islamic jihadist immigrants.

The 36-year-old tweeted on Saturday 'Statistics', along with the chart, which demonstrated that only two Americans are killed annually by 'Islamic jihadist immigrants', versus over 11,000, who are killed by gun violence at the hands of other Americans.

The chart included citations at the bottom of the tweet, and was quickly shared on Twitter.

The chart was clearly shared in response to Trump's sweeping executive order, signed Friday.

The order suspends the arrival of refugees for at least 120 days and bars visas for travelers from seven Muslim majority countries for the next three months.

Kylie Jenner, 19, (pictured) was also in attendance, as was her boyfriend Tyga and his four-year-old son King Cairo

The move, which was implemented immediately by US authorities, sparked large protests at major airports across the country including LAX. At New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, some of the 2,000 demonstrators there chanted 'Let them in, let them in!'

But by Saturday, a federal court granted an emergency stay blocking the deportation of migrants detained at airports around the United States due to Donald Trump's immigration ban.

Costa Rica is not on the list of seven countries which Trump has banned refugees and immigrants from.

The Kardashian-Jenners had all decamped to the Central American nation en masse for the quick four-day trip.

Kim was joined by her older sister Kourtney, 37, and younger sister Khloe with two-year-old Reign Disick and the 61-year-old matriarch Kris Jenner.

Kylie Jenner, 19, was also in attendance with her boyfriend Tyga and his four-year-old son King Cairo.

Heartbroken: Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian, meanwhile, also responded to the immigrant ban on Twitter

Only Kendall Jenner, 20, missed out - preferring to concentrate on her other business interests, with a trip to the office where she is collaborating on a new wireless headphone with Will.i.am.

Kim also took her three-year-old daughter North and one-year-old Saint on vacation and was spotted boarding the plane for the six-hour flight in Costa Rica.

The Kardashian family are fourth-generation immigrants from Armenia and have spoken about their pride at their history.

As well as Kim's dig at Trump's executive order, the so-called 'Muslim ban' Khloe Kardashian, meanwhile, also responded to the immigrant ban on Twitter.

The reality star tweeted, 'All of this in the news today breaks my heart.'

Customs and Border Protection officers can legally search all items being brought into the country.
