The Trump administration is considering using Department of Defense funding to hire contractors in order to expand immigrant arrests and deportations in the US. The defense contracts would allow for the rapid expansion of detention facilities and transportation for immigrants being arrested and deported. The pace of arrests and deportations has not met expectations, leading to demotions within ICE. Congress has limited funding for detention space, making it difficult for ICE to hold detained immigrants. By using Department of Defense funding, the administration could greatly expand the amount of money available for detention. Legal challenges may arise over using these funds for immigration enforcement, but the administration may use the Alien and Sedition Acts and a national emergency declaration to justify accessing the contracts. The Trump administration is committed to securing borders and enforcing immigration laws, with a focus on deporting criminal illegal migrants and putting America first. The administration is exploring the use of LOGCAP contracts to support immigration enforcement operations.
