PunchUp, the Daily Beast\u2019s investigative Substack, has spent months investigating Salus Worldwide Solutions\u2014the scandal-ridden contractor behind the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Project Homecoming initiative, which pays migrants $2,600 plus a one-way flight to leave the country. Axios first reported the numbers, and that Salus case managers are in place across 40 detention facilities. About 132,000 have already left the U.S., with 70,000 more queued up, under what Salus describes as a \u201chumane\u201d alternative to shackled removals. In a July 13 letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, Salus boss William Walters III wrote that the scheme cuts detention stays \u201cfrom months to days.\u201d The leaked figures come as Secretary Markwayne Mullin faces mounting pressure over the project. Thompson wrote to Mullin, demanding that he \u201ctake immediate action to stop this wasteful and corrupt spending\u201d and cancel the deal outright after the DHS secretary threw Salus a $200 million lifeline in May. The contract is being recompeted. A DHS spokesperson said, \u201cProject Homecoming remains a cornerstone of President Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement success. The underlying Project Homecoming support contract, Comprehensive Support to Removal Operations (CSRO) Support Services, has been solicited for recompete. It is inappropriate to comment further until the CSRO Support Services contract proposal and award process has been completed.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4963\">ICE Rounds Up Dozens of Relatives of U.S. Troops<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i>Tom Latchem exposes the secrets, scandals, and stories that powerful people and institutions want to keep under wraps.
