Lorenzen-Strait worked starting in 2008 through May 2019 at ICE, where his last responsibility was overseeing the 45,000-person-capacity detention facilities, including the family residential centers that now sit empty as families are instead held in hotels before being released into the U.S.

The contract in question was signed in March and gave Endeavors the equivalent of $352.64 per hotel bed per day to house approximately 80,000 migrant families through September. Your tax dollars at work folks. Thanks Biden!

No bid contract to someone that worked on his transition team. Folks we're being schooled in what real corruption looks like.

Well, housing them in hotels is MUCH MUCH better than those medieval 'detention facilities'!


Have any of you actually seen these detention centers? They are basically steel, concrete and glass, ,very cold and medieval...Even Eastern European prisons do not look like prisons, as much as the US are!

Wow... So in your world, we should give these illegal aliens more priority AND far better treatment than our own homeless families and war veterans?

Trust me, there is only a limited amount of dollars for social services and welfare programs to go around. With that said, these illegals WILL have priority in these programs, which will end up hurting more Americans. I don’t have a dog in this fight since I’ve been blessed and worked very hard to be financially secured, but many Americans are not and they will be the ones to suffer with either no or a reduction of social benefits paid out to them.

So basically you are fine with hurting Americans, who are in need of these social services? If so, you are what is wrong this country and part of the reason why this country will fail.

By the way, have YOU ever seen a Eastern European prison, in person? I have and have you ever seen, in person, an ICE Detention Center? I have, since I use to work in one, for many years. Due to Biden’s “open border” policies, he willingly or unwillingly caused a flood within all the ICE Detention Centers on the southern border and within the interior parts of the country as well... Which were not prepared for the mass numbers that came flooding into the country, which swamped the system that has been in place... Because Biden “invited” them into the country. As for your statement about Eastern European prisons being less mid evil than our ICE facilities, obviously you have never seen a Romanian or a Bulgarian prison since they’re a living hell holes.

How are hotels doing these days? If they weren't filling beds with travelers, I don't see a major issue - makes more sense injecting federal "stimulus" into existing hotels versus constructing more temporary, emergency housing.

Why not house them in cheap hotels instead? Some are less than $100 a night. Are you ok with housing them in $354 a night hotels? That's ridiculous! $87 million of the taxpayer's dollars? That's also ridiculous!

I don't disagree with that thought, a stimulus for an industry that is struggling due to COVID. But why not house homeless families? Or veterans? American citizens who lost their homes or who stand to lose their homes when evictions are no longer "banned?"

I'm selfish - let's take care of our own first.

The article(s) don't actually say the hotels are $354 per night.
