"Hardworking American Taxpayers Paid a Premium for Empty Buildings"

  • The DHS IG has launched a formal audit into roughly $1 bn worth of warehouse purchases made under former S/DHS Kristi Noem, targeting properties that don't have working plumbing, aren't zoned for detention, and have yet to hold a single detainee.
    Well-experienced DHS IG Dr Joseph V. Cuffari is a Dummkopf Trumpf appointment, so good luck to us all seeking justice and holding people accountable

    A $38 Billion Program Under the Microscope

    "The DHS OIG recently announced an 'audit of ICE's acquisition of detention space,' a review that will cover all 11 vacant warehouses US ICE purchased over just a few months last winter. The program, formally known as the ICE Detention Reengineering Initiative, was funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill passed by congressional Republicans and planned to dedicate $38.3 billion to retrofitting commercial warehouses into detention centres capable of holding more than 92,000 detainees."

    DHS also wasted a king's ransom purchasing a fleet of marked vehicles that ICE can't use because of Kristi Noem's 28-year-old idiotic assistant Madison Sheahan who has since left DHS with her tail between her legs and is risibly running for congress in Ohio. Good-for-nothing Corey Lewandowski signed off on her ridiculous purchase order of the useless ICE vehicles, another blow to the wallets and purses of the hardworking American taxpayer.

    Listen: It was obviously one of Kristi's life ambitions to rise to a position of power where she could loot public funds.

    Check her bank accounts, all of them, and those of her friends.

    That won't happen until the Looter-in-Chief is castrated, of course.
