The Trump administration is considering using Department of Defense funding to hire contractors to help with immigrant arrests and deportations in the U.S. This could involve expanding temporary detention facilities, increasing the number of airplanes used for deportations, and hiring staff for these operations. President Trump has been disappointed with the pace of deportations and has reassigned top officials in ICE’s enforcement division. The administration is exploring using LOGCAP contracts to fund immigration enforcement, citing the Alien and Sedition Acts and a national emergency declaration as justification. ICE has faced budget shortfalls and limited space for detained immigrants, but with Department of Defense funding, the amount of money available for detention would greatly expand. There may be legal challenges to using LOGCAP contracts for immigration enforcement. The administration is committed to “securing our borders, enforcing immigration laws, deporting criminal migrants, and putting America first.”
