Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering hiring private bounty hunters to locate immigrants across the country, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept. Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.

According to the document, which solicits information from interested contractors for a potentially forthcoming contract opportunity, companies hired by ICE will be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate, with further assignments provided in “increments of 10,000 up to 1,000,000.”

    Lawful evil. Regardless of their political inclinations, no person should be criminalized for existing.

      Not lawful. No amount of acknowledging the existence of mechanisms of law determines one’s lawful alignment. A chaotic person isn’t blind to the presence of law, they just don’t feel internally compelled by it.

      Strongly disagree with ‘evil’, too, if the act has a meaningful chance of helping somebody innocent.

        While I agree with your comment, immigrant trump supporters are, for the most part, not the ruling class, so it actually seems kinda irrelevant.

          On top of that by the same logic they could argue illegal immigrants are not people. As soon as you begin removing protections from one group you remove protections from all groups.
