With thousands of migrant children stuck on a sweltering Texas military base and hundreds more arriving at the border each day, the Biden administration has turned to an obscure Republican contractor dubbed the “Master of Disaster” to erect a massive tent city for kids.
The price tag for his company’s services: a cool $614.3 million.
The mega-contract went to Alabama-based Rapid Deployment Inc., led by CEO Bruce Wagner, whose involvement in federal disaster response dates back to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He recently supplied the government with refrigerated mortuary trailers to store bodies of COVID-19 victims.
