Private security firms are integral to ICE's deportation efforts by supplying vehicles and personnel for transporting immigrants. The Trump administration's recent legislation allocated $170 billion for immigration enforcement, with ICE receiving nearly $30 billion, tripling its budget and enhancing operational capabilities. Among the firms involved is Allied Universal, which provides armed guards and transport services. Notably, these companies have histories of abuse, with allegations of poor conditions and mistreatment of detainees. The funding surge is set to facilitate faster and more efficient deportations, contributing to fears within immigrant communities.
"Some of the world's largest private security firms are making millions by aiding ICE's mass deportations - and now that the Trump administration's megabill has granted ICE a multi-billion-dollar windfall, they are lining up for an even bigger cut."
"Trump's megabill carved out $170 billion for immigration enforcement, including nearly $30 billion in funding for ICE operations, more than tripling ICE's current annual budget and likely supercharging ICE's raids and disappearings, which have inflicted terror on immigrant communities and sparked nationwide protests in recent months."
