Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is pushing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)to review the more than $500 million government contract that was awarded to a nonprofit that would provide immigrant housing in 2021.

The Examiner reported on Friday that in a letter sent from Mayorkas to Marsha Espinosa, DHS’ assistant secretary for public affairs, and five other DHS employees on April 14, 2021, it was stated that the department needed to examine where its rules were “followed scrupulously.” This had been a response to a previous email by Espinosa, in which he had attached a news article that had claimed that the

The first contract from ICE awarded $87 million for Endeavors that were to be used to oversee migrant families to spend detention in hotels in Arizona and Texas. The second, which is the $530 million contract in question, was awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services for immigrant children to be provided housing in Pecos, Texas.
