ICE has wasted tens of millions to carry out Trump’s mass detention agenda – report

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that ICE and federal agencies wasted tens of millions of dollars pursuing plans to increase detention capacity. Mismanagement includes spending nearly $3 million on unused tents at Guantanamo Bay and $20 million on warehouses that never housed detainees. Additionally, ICE paid excessive rates for a deficient, now-shuttered Florida lockup. Investigators warn total losses will likely rise as ICE implements the mass arrest and deportation agenda ordered by Donald Trump.
