ICE spent $17M of no-bid contract to house migrants in hotels that went largely unused: DHS watchdog
Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog found that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spent $17 million on a no-bid contract to house migrants in hotels that went largely unused between April and June last year and that a contractor failed to meet ICE standards.
ICE entered into an $86.9 million "sole source" contract with a company called Endeavors, rather than through a competitive bidding process. For six months, Endeavors would provide 1,239 beds and other services to migrants after ICE recognized its current family residential centers would be insufficient to house the number of migrants crossing the border.
