U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has declared a national emergency on the U.S. border with Mexico, authorizing nine five-year contracts for a combined 10,312 beds without 'Full and Open Competition.' This move is part of the Trump administration's push for mass deportations and a significant increase in detention capacity.
CoreCivic's CEO, Damon Hininger, stated, 'Never in our 42-year company history have we had so much activity and demand for our services as we are seeing right now.' The company's deal for the Leavenworth facility alone is valued at $4.2 million a month, highlighting the financial scale of these new contracts.
ICE is utilizing 'letter contracts' to expedite the reopening of facilities, providing initial funding to companies like CoreCivic to begin activation efforts while longer-term deals are negotiated. This approach allows for rapid deployment of detention capacity, directly benefiting private corrections companies.
