MVM, Inc. went from guarding the U.S. spies in Iraq to hauling children away from the Mexico border on commercial airline flights.
The Trump
administration has been paying an intelligence contractor millions of
dollars to to fly immigrant children to shelters across the United
States.
MVM, Inc. has a contract with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to provide “unaccompanied alien children (UAC)
transportation services” worth $162 million, according to records reviewed
by The Daily Beast. MVM’s recent job postings show it sought to hire
people to escort immigrant children from the border on commercial
airlines. MVM is one of a number of defense contractors cashing in on the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy of locking up immigrant families.
The policy was implemented in early April, and soon after MVM posted several of job advertisements looking for employees to escort immigrant children in cities like Phoenix, San Antonio,
and McAllen, Texas, home of the infamous “Ursula” facility seen in
photographs of separated children housed in chain-link cages. In a
posting for a “Bilingual Travel Youth Care Worker,” MVM sought escorts
for “unaccompanied children and teens.” The job would entail
“accompanying them on domestic flights and via ground transportation to
shelters all over the country.”
