DOJ to Investigate Empty Migrant Facility Receiving $18 Million a Month in Shady No-Bid Contract Brokered by Biden Transition Team Member
2025-02-27
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Elon Musk's DOGE uncovered another huge scandal involving a former ICE employee-turned Biden official.

According to DOGE, the HHS has been paying an empty migrant facility in Pecos, Texas, $18 million a month since March 2024.

The shady deal was brokered by a former ICE employee-turned Biden transition team member.

DOGE said the sketchy contract was terminated, saving taxpayers more than $251 million per year.

Per DOGE:

A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.

As a result, Family Endeavors' cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.

Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.

With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.
And now HHS or DOJ can work to claw back some of what was overpaid. And possibly the recipient can be sent to jail…So much winning!
