An unusual step by the Presidential Administration Donald Trump has canceled a $ 3.8 billion contract for the construction of the immigrant detention camp in Fort Bliss, Texas, a few days after his extradition.
This does not mean that the work will not go forward. The sources reported propublica that the administration still intends to move forward with the plan to build a tent -holding camp in Fort Bliss. A visit to the stakeholders took place on Wednesday.
The work promises to be very popular when Trump’s officials plan to pour billions of dollars into the construction of the president to deport more immigrants.
Why the contract was posted and then canceled, unclear.
American immigration and customs execution rewarded the contract on April 10 for expanded resources, a private company, according to the federal procurement website.
PROPUBLICA has published profile The company on April 11, describing its climbing facilities at the music festivals, at the Government Jangenut, which, like other suppliers, pursues billions of dollars in the planned detention planned within Trump. Company executives, discovered PROPBLICA, hired more than a dozen former government insiders when it has created their business for years. Recent hiring included some high -ranking former ICE officials, an agency that would be instructed to fulfill Trump’s promises for mass deportation.
Then, on April 13, the administration reversed the course and stopped the contract with the deployed resources “for convenience”, according to the data posted on the federal website of the contracts.
The ICE press secretary confirmed that the award was made and then canceled, and that “a revised rally on the Fort Bliss is currently active and continuing.” The agency did not answer questions about why he turned the course.
Expanded resources did not respond to comment requests. On its site, the company states that “devoted to safely and effectively to provide transparent support and logistics services anytime.”
The rewarding and cancellation of such a big contract in the company in such a short time is extremely unusual, according to the propublica review for contract data that have been returning for decades.
In the documents on the petitions, the government stated that it needed an object with the ability to retain thousands of immigrants before deporting them.
Perhaps, but it is not yet clear that the deployed resources can win a contract after the next bidding round. This is probably not the only participant of the competition interested in the work that could be broken into two parts.
Since Middle March, Ice has been detained in a tent in El Paso, Texas, which was ruled by deployed resources previously used by the US Customs and Border Protection. The Ministry of Defense has awarded the deployed resources contract for the ICE site, the ICE PROPULICA press reported.
The current and former agency officials have said they contain detained ICE in tents – who have usually kept people in shorter periods in the past – causes considerable concern for potential health and safety risk. At a recent border security conference, an official official said the deployed resources were added to their tents tougher structures, which could solve such problems.
Trump, returning to the post in January, signed a series Executive orders Announcement of emergencies at the border and enlisting the military to help implement immigration. In early April, the administration issued an application for new content all over the country, which can cost up to $ 45 billion.
Expanding immigration contracts occurs when the Trump administration squeezes federal programs and shoots thousands of workers in other government wings.
