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.”
So now instead of masked unidentified cops kidnapping people, there are going to be masked, unidentified non cops kidnapping people?
At least it will be easier to get away with smoking those shit heads.
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…
I’m pretty sure that’s what the instructions say yes.
I would love to join this program to send them on so many wild goose chases. But they’d probably arrest me for obstruction or some made up shit.
“this guy at such and such address. He is pretending to be a maga to not get deported”
What alignment would the person be that accepts and then specifically targets immigrant trump supporters? Chaotic good? Lawful neutral? Lawful evil?
Lawful evil. Regardless of their political inclinations, no person should be criminalized for existing.
Well its a good thing I dont consider the ruling class to be people
See, I would say chaotic good, because removing fascists is always good.
We need to hack this database, and insert the hacked ICE agent database records
For funsies
I hate it here.
So they’re admitting they can’t do it themselves, and that the numbers of immigrants just aren’t there. You have the resources of a military, so much money, and you are just so dumb.
Worse. Bounty Hunters have already been wrecking havoc on the USA, years before Trump. Take everything bad about greedy corporate attitude, and give those people the ego of a police officer. This is exactly what ICE wants - with the bonus that if any case gets extremely bad press, some private citizen takes the fall.
I recall watching a story - 2 months ago, a man named Hussein Alsaadi was kidnapped from Richardson, Texas by a team of bounty hunters - they abducted him from his home on a warrant for a different man. But, again, this is not Just a 2025 problem, it’s been like this for a while.
It would be a shame if several well meaning but anonymous citizens give them address of know white supremacists.
Sounds like promotion for weapon companies.
Low key waiting for ICE to set up a contract with Blackwater (the PMC that made their name, as it were, in Iraq)
i have no words
The vests on the guys in the thumbnail are amusing. Esp the one that says “POLICE ICE” it looks like a typo or an echo “umbrella, ella, ella, ay, ay, ay”
They look so dishevelled and unprofessional. Like a group of weekend wannabes who have found their hobby. They should have joined a bowling league or built RC cars, instead they’re exorcising their pain and humiliation from every perceived slight and injustice they’ve suffered in life by victimising people who simply wanted a chance at a better life and were willing to do backbreaking, dangerous, disgusting work in the shadows of society in pursuit of that dream.
What could possibly go wrong.
