EXCLUSIVE: ICE gave $87M no-bid contract to business with Biden ties, raising conflict of interest questions
Last month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (an agency of the Department of Homeland Security) signed an $87 million contract to acquire and oversee an operation involving 1,200 hotel beds to house migrant families in Arizona and Texas. The contract was given to the nonprofit organization Family Endeavors, based out of San Antonio, Texas, which has no previous history as an ICE contractor.
But Family Endeavors does have a former senior official on the Biden transition team in its leadership: former ICE official Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, identified as a potential broker in the deal by Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia, who is tracking the contract, as well as two others with knowledge of the situation.
On Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, Family Endeavors announced that Lorenzen-Strait would become its senior director for migrant services and federal affairs, meaning that he would be the organization’s liaison to the federal government. Within two months, Lorenzen-Strait secured the contract.
Government contracts are supposed to be awarded through an open competitive process, outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Information obtained through the Federal Procurement Data System indicates that ICE never opened the contract to outside companies and organizations but went with an internal candidate who had significant insider connections.
“The bid was not advertised for competition, as is the norm,” said one person who is familiar with how ICE brokered the deal with Family Endeavors.
“Unless certain exceptions apply, an agency must compete the contract,” said Carol Thompson, a partner with the Washington-based Federal Practice Group law firm.
The only exception, Thompson said, was in the case of an emergency, such as disaster relief. In that case, ICE would have to provide a “Justification and Approval” document explaining why it did not compete the contract; a failure to do so would likely result in disciplinary action against the ICE officials who signed the deal, and the contract would be canceled.
ICE published its reason for not competing the contract after being contacted by the Washington Examiner Wednesday morning. It cited "unusual and compelling urgency" as the reason for not complying with federal contract law.
“Though the situation at the border might warrant the use of the [exception], I find it hard to believe that there were no other vendors that could have been at least considered for the award," Clyde, a Republican, wrote in a letter to ICE leadership late last week that was obtained by the Washington Examiner.
ICE said in a statement that the hotels are intended to be "short term, and generally less than 72 hours." It did not comment on questions related to Lorenzen-Strait.
“I am gravely concerned given that ICE did not compete this contract award, that this is Endeavors' first contract with ICE, and that the contract award amount far exceeds any previous award amounts with this organization,” Clyde wrote.

No reason to rush this - the Biden Regime said that there was no emergency at the border.
Kansas City Family Court Exposed: Moms Say Guardian Trina Nudson Abused Her Power, Harmed Families
This is part one of an investigative series into the Kansas family court system.
After my investigative series on the corruption reported in the Missouri court system, in which victims have alleged that court-appointed guardians and therapists conspired to drain their bank accounts by dragging out court cases unnecessarily and giving children to alleged abusers, victims from all over the country have contacted PJ Media asking for help. But Kansas City, Kansas, began to stand out from the crowd with a quickly growing list of women who say they are victims of domestic abuse, which is being suppressed or exacerbated by the court system. One guardian ad litem, Trina Nudson, ties them all together.

Why is the Biden Regime so friendly with those who hate Israel? Is that indicative of the entire Dem party?
