An independent auditor within the Department of Homeland Security will launch an investigation into the Biden administration awarding an $87 million contract to house in hotels migrant families who illegally crossed the southern border.

The DHS Office of the Inspector General will examine how Texas-based Endeavors was given a massive federal contract by DHS agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the Washington Examiner’s report that exposed the nonprofit group’s potential conflicts of interest, including how its senior director worked on President Joe Biden’s transition team.

“The decision to award a massive, no-bid contract to the nonprofit Endeavors raised many questions including how an organization with no experience working with ICE could win a non-compete contract,” House Homeland Security Committee ranking member John Katko, a New York Republican, said in a statement Monday. “It’s bad enough that this administration has created a self-inflicted border crisis. Its response should now be focused on reversing the misguided policies that got us here — not engaging in activity that raises significant ethical questions.”

'This is outrageous' said Miller

Former Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller says paying for hotel welcome centers for illegal immigrants is 'categorically insane' on 'Fox News Primetime'

Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller argued that President Biden's plan to launch an $87 million "hotel-based welcome center" to house illegal immigrants at the border looks "corrupt" on "Fox News Primetime" Monday.

STEPHEN MILLER: This is just outrageous. Honestly, having worked on a presidential transition, having worked obviously at the highest levels of the White House, this would never happen when Donald Trump was president. Never, ever, ever would this have happened. In fact, President Trump would have made sure if we were doing a contract, it would be the person with the best experience, with the most efficiency and the best savings for the taxpayer. This group doesn't even have any experience working with ICE. As best we can tell, they have no clue what they're doing. This looks absolutely -- on its face -- it looks corrupt.

This is about whether or not this country has a border. Paying for expensive hotel-based welcome centers for illegal immigrants is categorically insane. There's no other word for it. It is actually insane. No country that wishes to survive would ever voluntarily adopt a policy [like this]… But it would be like if President Biden came into office and announced in the first week, ‘Hereby immediately the U.S. military is dissolved.’ You don't, as a president, have the right to decide which aspects of our national defense exist and which are erased.
