ICE Seeks Contractor To Harvest Voter Rolls From Every State

ICE Seeks Contractor To Harvest Voter Rolls From Every State

Homeland Security Investigations in Dallas posted the request August 25, valued between $2 million and $5 million, still just market research.

  • 50 states, Washington D.C. and US territories: the full scope HSI wants one contractor to cover.
  • $2 million to $5 million: the estimated value HSI put on the eventual contract.
  • Aug. 25 posting: still a request for information, not a signed contract or award.

Why it matters: An immigration enforcement agency does not need every American's voting history to enforce immigration law.
