No-Bid #ICE Contract Went to Former ICE Agents Being Sued for Fabricating Criminal Evidence on the Job

The $73 million deal for assisting with deportations went to a company whose executives are accused of retaliating against a fellow ICE worker.

Sam Biddle, April 17 2025

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement just signed a contract worth $73 million with a firm whose executives are accused of taking part in a scheme to manufacture evidence against a co-worker during their time working at the Department of Homeland Security.

"According to a contract document reviewed by The Intercept, federal contractor #UniversalStrategicAdvisors will provide services pertaining to #ICE’s 'non-detained docket,' a master list of millions of #noncitizens believed to be removable from the United States but not yet in the agency’s custody.

"The contract cites President Donald #Trump’s declaration of a #NationalEmergency on the #USMexicoBorder, an overwhelming glut of potential #deportees, and a shortage of officers to process them all as justification for hiring a private vendor to assist with the collection of biometric data, coordinating removals, and monitoring #immigrant populations.

"The document says that with a fleet of new outsourced employees, ICE can reassign hundreds of officers to tasks that better align with Trump’s recent executive orders aimed at maximizing the agency’s detention and deportation operations. With the contractors onboard, the document says at least 675 ICE officers 'will be able to take all appropriate actions to comply with the EO’s by prioritizing conducting at-large arrests, removals, and detention related activities.'

"A former ICE official, who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity, said they were concerned by this plan to further privatize the agency’s operations at the same time as the Trump administration has dramatically slashed its workforce and gutted important oversight bodies like the Office for #CivilRights and #CivilLiberties, as well as the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman. 'I certainly take issue with them firing career feds and demolishing whole offices, just to hire contractors to do the same work, many of them who are former ICE employees now retired,' the official said."

U.S.-born American citizen under #ICE hold in #Florida after driving from #Georgia

#JuanCarlosLopezGomez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate 'authentic' and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an 'illegal alien.'

By Suzanne Gamboa, April 17, 2025

"A U.S.-born American citizen was being detained at the request of immigration authorities Thursday despite an advocate showing his U.S. birth certificate in court and a county judge finding no reason for him to be considered an 'illegal alien' who illegally entered Florida.

"Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, 20, was arrested Thursday evening by Florida Highway Patrol and charged under a state immigration law that has been temporarily blocked since early this month. Details of Gomez-Lopez’s arrest and detention were first reported by the Florida Phoenix news site.

"After inspecting his birth certificate, Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans said during the hearing that 'this is indeed an authentic document,' but that she did not have jurisdiction beyond finding no probable cause for the charge.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role is to enforce immigration laws that generally apply to noncitizens. American citizens are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution from unreasonable search and seizure, arrest and detention.

"Nonetheless, he remains detained locally at ICE’s request, said Thomas Kennedy, a spokesperson at the Florida Immigrant Coalition who attended Thursday’s hearing.

" 'Everything tracks for him being sent to an ICE detention center,' he told NBC News in a phone interview.

"NBC News has reached out to state and federal authorities for comment.

"Lopez-Gomez was in a vehicle with other passengers and was traveling to work from Georgia when they were stopped after entering Florida.

:A sweeping immigration law signed by Gov. #RonDeSantis in 2023 makes it a state crime for an undocumented immigrant over age 18 to enter the state illegally."

"The arrest & #ICE hold against Juan Carlos isn't just troubling bc he's a US citizen, he was charged under a recent anti-immigrant which we sued & temporarily blocked in court. Carlos is free now but it’s clear that🚨FL continues to act in a lawless manner."
-T Kennedy

In apparent defiance of a fed ct ruling, a FL HP trooper arrested a GA man in north FL under a new state law that targets undoc #immigrants who enter the state illegally (he's a citizen).
