ICE Hires Immigrant Bounty Hunters From Private Prison Company GEO Group
Sam Biddle for The Intercept reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "has secured a deal with surveillance firm BI Incorporated as part of a new program, first reported in October by The Intercept, to use private bounty hunters to determine the locations of immigrants in exchange for monetary bonuses."
BI was acquired by the GEO Group in 2011. It is one of several firms hired by ICE to provide “skip tracing” services to track immigrants to their homes and places of work so federal officers can arrest them.
Our tax dollars at work!
