As most of you know, I don’t usually use this blog as a political soap box. But sometimes something crosses my desk that moves me to say something. The evil empire, Halliburton, won another US contract (surprise, surprise).

According to their website, their “Government and Infrastructure division has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities in the event of an emergency.”

Furthermore, they say “the contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs.”

How interesting. The US is preparing themselves for an “emergency influx of immigrants.” More surprising to me than that is the possibility (or is it already a reality?) that they will rapidly develop new programs? What kind of “new programs” require a “Detention and Removal” facility?

Who are they going to detain and remove from the US now? Gays, lesbians, Muslims? Read the entire press release here.
