ICE Dollars

Follow the money! That's how to find motivation for everything in today's world. 


So today we trace how a 90 percent bed mandate and per diem payments turn detention into a guaranteed cash business, then map the loop from public money to profit to lobbying and back again. Along the way we expose hiring failures, subcontracting fog, and why humane alternatives get sidelined.

• 90 percent minimum bed guarantee as the engine of detention profits
• $130 per diem creating incentives to cut food, medical, and staffing costs
• Publicly traded status driving expansion and investor-friendly margins
• Lobbying reinforcing stricter enforcement and resistance to alternatives
• Subcontracting layers diffusing accountability for harmful practices
• Policy enforcement clashing with constitutional protections in homes
• Political targets and data power shaping where raids intensify
• Rebranding and EO 14006 shifting optics while ICE contracts persist
