The Trump administration is looking to hire a private contractor that will be responsible for transporting approximately 225,000 migrant children and families to shelters across the country over the next five years as they wait for their asylum claims to be processed.
ICE (the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency) is seeking the services of a highly responsible contractor that fully embraces the philosophy of treating all unaccompanied minors (UACs) and family units (FAMUs) with dignity and respect, according to a federal procurement document dated May 13. *
The private company will be hired to transport approximately 60,000 people a year. It will work to arrange commercial flights and ground transportation for migrant children up to age 17 as well as adults with children and will provide food, clothing and hygiene products during transit.
Sometimes the contractor will have to plan commercial or charter flights in a period of less than 24 hours, the document states, highlighting an increased need for on demand escort-services as the Trump administration addresses a large influx of migrants from Central America who come to the U.S.-Mexico border to claim asylum.

Wanna bet we hear stories about people being transported in semi trailers? Or without stood for food and rest? And dumped en masse without coordination with localities? Ill also predict that contracts will go to new subsidiaries of private prison companies. Also, is anybody else picturing trucks and trains transporting Jews to concentration camps?
