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.
