A private security contractor accused in federal court of "torture," "enforced disappearance," and "cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment" has been hired by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help locate undocumented migrant children who arrived in the United States alone, according to a contracting document reported by The Guardian.
ICE awarded the contract to MVM Inc., a longtime federal contractor that has provided detention and transport services to immigration agencies and previously worked with the CIA. The company is now set to assist with what ICE calls "safety and wellness checks" on unaccompanied children released from government custody while their immigration cases proceed.
