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.”

    Don’t forget, in this instance, since the dumbass “hunters” are fully trying to scam the system via handwaving past the ID confirmation step, in turn that step will be what said gov’t uses to tie up the bounties in court until the whole process is far enough along that it can close out the denial of those payouts.

    Word to the wise: trying to “game the system” is an available option that’s hardcoded into the system we all live under. To think for one second that you’re smarter than the elite teams that train tirelessly on any number of exploits… Oof. 🤪🤷🏼‍♂️

      Sometimes it’s hard to figure out when the government is smart and evil and when it’s stupid and evil.
