ICE awards $17.3M contract to GardaWorld for San Antonio detention facility via WEXMAC program

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has awarded a $17.3 million contract to GardaWorld to convert a San Antonio warehouse into a detention facility. The use of the Navy's WEXMAC contracting vehicle contradicts prior congressional testimony from June indicating the Department of Homeland Security had ceased utilizing this specific procurement program.
