The contract, with a company called D&G Support Services, was to provide “program and technical support services” for the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights at ICE.

Summary

DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.

However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.

Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.

The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.

    If you have 1 million seconds to live that about 11 days. If you have 1 billion seconds to live it’s about 33 years

      If you have one million dollar bills stacked on top of each other, it’s really tall. If you have one billion dollar bills stacked on top of each other, forget about it…it’s very very tall. Point is, can’t get fooled again.
