ProPublica: McKinsey Helped Trump Speed Up Mass Deportation Program

HeadlineDec 04, 2019

An explosive new ProPublica investigation reveals how the consulting giant McKinsey & Company helped the Trump administration speed up its mass deportation program. McKinsey proposed cuts to spending on food, medical care and supervision of people in immigration jails — measures that were considered too harsh by some Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The McKinsey team also looked for ways to accelerate deportations, which raised concerns among some ICE officials about due process protections for immigrants appealing their removal from the United States. McKinsey now has a new $2 million contract with Customs and Border Protection.
