Cashing in on ICE: DHS paying local police millions for immigration enforcement
President Trump's administration is linked to firms receiving large, sometimes no-bid, contracts for immigration enforcement, raising concerns about profit-seeking.
DHS is reportedly increasing payments to local police for immigration enforcement and awarding large contracts to private companies for 'skip-tracing' services, shifting visible ICE operations. Critics, including an Illinois Representative, describe this as a 'bounty system' with profit motives and political ties to the former Trump administration.
