Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering hiring private bounty hunters to locate immigrants across the country, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept. Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.
According to the document, which solicits information from interested contractors for a potentially forthcoming contract opportunity, companies hired by ICE will be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate, with further assignments provided in “increments of 10,000 up to 1,000,000.”
This… this is going to devolve into armed gangs dragging random brown people off the street and turning them in for bounties (and then they get deported) without anyone at any point actually signing off on anything or checking if their a citizen or not isn’t it…
Wait. Isn’t that already happening? 🤌🏼
Yeh but now its open season, every fuckwit with a gun and a couple of friends can start hunting people down without even needing to pretend to be ICE and even get paid for it.
I’m pretty sure that’s what the instructions say yes.
