Homeland Security helps Trump donor make bank on deportation scheme

The super transparent and ethical Trump administration strikes again. The Department of Homeland Security just slid an almost $1 billion co

Lisa Needham at Daily Kos:

The super transparent and ethical Trump administration strikes again. The Department of Homeland Security just slid an almost $1 billion contract to Salus Worldwide Solutions, a company run by William Walters. That staggering sum is for “Project Homecoming,” the gross DHS program that ostensibly provides cash bonuses, free flights, and a “concierge service” at airports for immigrants who self-deport. Salus has never had a federal contract before, but surely it’s incredibly qualified and equipped to manage nearly a billion dollars, right?

We’re only learning about this sleazy deal because of a lawsuit filed by CSI Aviation, which details all of the backroom shadiness that went into making sure that Walters made bank.  Walters, unsurprisingly, began greasing the wheels to make this happen even before President Donald Trump won the 2024 election. He took a belt-and-suspenders approach, giving $10,000 to a pro-Trump super PAC run by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's pals, and he also gave big bucks to the America First Policy Institute. AFPI was basically MAGA in exile until Trump returned to power. Founded by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, AFPI has managed to stuff dozens of people into the administration, including Rob Law, a DHS undersecretary of policy.

The corrupt Trump Regime’s DHS helps William Walters, a massive Trump donor, make bank on mass deportations.
