DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is Considering Hiring Private Bounty Hunters to Track Down Illegal Aliens, According to New Report
2025-11-03
[GatewayPundit] According to a leaked DHS procurement document obtained by The Intercept, ICE plans to outsource "Skip Tracing and Process Serving Services" to private firms, providing them with government data on batches of 10,000 immigrants at a time, with potential escalations up to 1,000,000 cases."

The Intercept reports:

The document closely resembles a plan reportedly circulated by a group of military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO and Trump ally Erik Prince.

In February, Politico reported that Prince and other were pushing for the formation of a private efforts to locate immigrants and a "bounty program which provides a cash reward for each illegal alien held by a state or local law enforcement officer," according pitch materials obtained by the outlet.

The proposal called for "skip-tracing," a method of using available information to locate people — something ICE is already handing out multimillion-dollar contracts for, according to a recent report in The Lever.

Soon, according to the newly published procurement document, private sector ICE contractors will surveil and confirm the home or work addresses of tens of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. and then report their locations back to the government.

The document states, "DHS ICE has an immediate need for Skip Tracing and Process Serving Services using Government furnished case data with identifiable information, commercial data verification, and physical observation services, to verify alien address information, investigate alternative alien address information, confirm the new location of aliens, and deliver materials/documents to aliens as appropriate."
I've been saying this for years. Well that and a moat with 20 foot crocodiles.
"Skip Tracing and Process Serving Services" to private firms, providing them with government data on batches of 10,000 immigrants at a time, with potential escalations up to 1,000,000 cases.

There has been an escalation in attacks on ICE personnel, with DHS reporting an 8,000% spike in death threats and over a 1,000% increase in assaults compared to previous years.

Maybe just another Trumpian troll, or maybe not.
Like Shimmer, it works either way.
