ICE’s Bold Move: Unleashing Bounty Hunters with No Budget Cap!
ICE is upping its game, swapping a $180 million pilot for a full-blown program with no spending cap. They’re hiring bounty hunters and private eyes to track immigrants, promising them up to $281.25 million each. With this move, ICE aims to turn contractors into an extension of its enforcement team.
Hot Take:
Why go to the movies when you can watch ICE’s latest blockbuster: “The Outsourcing Chronicles”? Picture this—a no-cap budget, private surveillance firms playing the lead role, and a plot twist where Big Brother passes the baton to bounty hunters. Spoiler alert: It’s a never-ending sequel with multimillion-dollar paychecks!
Key Points:
- ICE ditches the $180 million cap on its immigrant tracking program, allowing for unlimited contractor earnings.
- Private firms will handle street-level verification, including photographing residences and staking out workplaces.
- Contractors may earn up to $281.25 million individually, with initial task orders of at least $7.5 million guaranteed.
- Access to ICE’s internal systems is restricted, but contractors will receive exported case packets.
- The move is part of ICE’s broader strategy to expand the role of contractors in its operations.
