This Is The Contract The Orlando Killer’s Employer Signed With DHS To Transport Illegal Immigrants, Potential Terrorists
By Tyler Durden
Over the weekend, as details emerged about Omar Mateen's background, the biggest surprise was the identity of his employer: as we reported on Sunday, it was none other than UK-based G4S plc, the world's largest security company, where Mateen had worked ever since 2007. But what was even more surprising, is that as we had also noted several days earlier, it is the same G4S that according to a Judicial Watch investigation was implicated in transporting illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to Phoenix and “releasing them without proper processing or issuing court appearance documents.”
As we wrote at the time, the government classified this specific set of illegals as Other Than Mexican (OTM) and in just that specific week around 35 were transferred 116 miles north from Tucson to a Phoenix bus station where they went their separate way. Judicial Watch was present when one of the white vans carrying a group of OTMs arrived at the Phoenix Greyhound station on Buckeye Road.
Furthermore, one specific security company contracted by the U.S. government was driving the OTMs from the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector where they were in custody to Phoenix. The firm is the abovementioned G4S.
The involvement of Mateen with a company that was directly tasked with not only capturing and transporting illegal immigrants, but also had taken far broader liberties with its mandate and was seemingly unloading them at will, raised many eyebrows, and led to various questions, chief of which was the following: could Mateen have helped illegals immigrants and/or potential terrorists cross the border.
While we won't know the answer, a place to start is uncovering the specific tasks that G4S was mandated to execute. As Judicial Watch noted, it had filed a number of public records requests to get more information involving the arrangement between G4S and the government, specifically the transport of illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to other parts of the country.
Today, courtesy of the government's FedBizOpps website, and @cate_Long, we are happy to report that we have tracked down G4S' contract. The federal solicitations in question is “Southwest Border Transportation, Medical Escort and Guard Services”, Solicitation Number: HSBP1012R0020, posted by the Department of Homeland Security for the Customs and Border Protection Office, the same CBP which is described as follows:
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for protecting our Nation?s borders in order to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the U.S.
The total contract amount at time of posting: roughly $234 million. And, as the solicitation summary explains, G4S's task was (and is) effectively to outsource the US border patrol:
The Contractor shall provide performance-based transportation, medical escort and facilities guard services. Transportation services will include escort, guard, and transport services for detainees in DHS custody. Transportation services will also entail over-the-road transport services in vehicles of sufficient capacity to meet the performance standards, courtroom transportation, detention facility booking transportation, security services and other related transportation and guard duties. The medical escort and facilities guard services include escort and …read more
