ProPublica: McKinsey Helped Trump Speed Up Mass Deportation Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------

An explosive new Pro Publica investigation reveals how the consulting
giant Mc Kinsey & Company helped the Trump administration speed up its
mass deportation program. Mc Kinsey proposed cuts to spending on food,
medical care, and supervision of people in immigration jails-measures
that were considered too harsh by some Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agents. The Mc Kinsey team also looked for ways to
accelerate deportations, which raised concerns among some ICE officials
about due-process protections for immigrants appealing their removal
from the United States. Mc Kinsey now has a new a $2 million contract
with Customs and Border Protection.
