THEFT BY DESIGN

People in Trump's circle were sitting on failing warehouse properties that were losing money.

Then ICE came looking for detention space.

Records show some of those properties were later purchased by the federal government for prices far above what they had recently been listed for.

The people selling walked away with the money.

The public got the bill.

What is being sold as immigration enforcement is creating a pipeline where private interests profit while taxpayers absorb the cost.

The deeper the records go, the worse it gets.
