The Trump administration appears to expect to take as many as 225,000 immigrant children into custody over the next five years.
The Trump administration appears to be preparing for a dramatic surge in the number of children taken into federal custody over the next five years, with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency launching a search for a private contractor to help transport as many as 225,000 migrant children over a five-year span.
The document asks that the winning contractor provide"unarmed escort staff, including management, supervision manpower, training certification licenses, drug testing, equipment and supplies necessary to provide on-demand escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent [unaccompanied minors and family units] ranging from infants to 17 years of age and adults with a family seven days a week, 365 days a year.
The transportation services ICE was requesting would be to serve the agency"nationwide," with the document asserting that"services are unpredictable and can occur in any location in the nation." In recent months, the U.S. has seen a surge in the numbers of arrivals of asylum-seeking families coming to the U.S.-Mexico border, predominantly from Central America. Officials saw a total of 98,977 stopped at the Southwest border in April alone, with 58,474 being family units and 8,897 unaccompanied minors.
