The Department of Homeland Security told GAO it would develop a plan to guide its detention expansion by Aug. 31, 2027, which investigators noted may be too late to prevent further waste; meanwhile the detainee population has grown from 39,000 in January 2025 to 67,000 as of July 30.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies have wasted tens of millions of dollars pursuing ill-conceived plans to rapidly increase detention capacity, and the total will likely rise due to ongoing mismanagement, congressional investigators warned.

Can’t help but wonder if this isn’t the most incompetent government in our country’s history, unless you count the grift and graft. They seem exceptionally competent at that.

I remember reading about this a couple of months ago when they were buying property from their friends. Well I guess at least those poor previous owners of the unsalable real estate got their money back with interest and the bill goes to the tax payers.
-
Well, unsurprising since this regime is chock full of nincompoops.
-
When the money is not your own, and you have zero skin in the game, waste and theft is predictable. A**holes.

"I'm shocked, shocked …" — #ICE Wasted Millions on Detention Without Strategic Plan, GAO Says @axios.com
-
Considering that a majority of these Detention Camps are contracted by private contractors, of course it's about increasing detention capacity. Why? They get paid if a bed is full, doesn't matter who.

Look who’s lurking in the background of this old photo. It’s the remora herself.

Mismanagement is the Trumpworld name for corruption

Wasteful spending, or money laundering? >_>

Tens of millions of dollars wasted and mismanaged while America's youth, elderly and everyone in between lose health care, food benefits, and human and civil liberty rights. The abuse and disgusting actions of HSI only prove the entire department is a waste of money and space. ABOLISH ICE

It's always been part of Trump's vision that this whole detention project moves millions and billions of taxpayer dollars to men who supply beds in prisons. Why have so much capacity if it's really about deportations?

Not shocking at all. And Vance or, whatever his name is today, want everyone to give them a second chance. Math isn’t a strong point considering this is their second chance.
-
These are to house the public in 2028 election. Do not think they wont dissappear people who do not vote they way they want before, or after the 2028 election.
-
These are not uninformed projects. These are people in ICE shoveling truckloads of public money to their cronies -- probably to get a nice kickback later.
-
Ah but that's a "feature"! This is how the plan to funnel unlimited public money to private for-profit prisons was written!

Have no plan and spend money that is not yours. The story of Trump's life. Of course, make sure you keep some for yourself.
-
Shortened version: This administration is doing NOTHING right and are actively WASTING whatever money THEY AREN'T STEALING.
-
fck ice. destroy it. tear it down. prosecute. they are nothing but a racist paramilitary terror squad.
