Immigration officials bought dirt bikes and boats instead of food and medicine, report says

U.S. Customs and Border Protection broke the law by misusing money meant for medical care and food for those in immigration detention, a government watchdog says.

Many were detained in crowded Customs and Border Protection facilities, resulting in a humanitarian crisis., a large proportion of it intended for the care of children and families on the southern border.Within the bill, Congress provided several line-item appropriations, including an estimated $112 million specifically for “consumables and medical care” for adults and children in custody and $708 million for “establishing and operating migrant care and processing facilities.

Customs and Border Protection officials spent some of the $112 million on items that did not qualify, the GAO report said. The agency spent it on “CBP’s canine program; the CBP-wide vaccine program for CBP personnel; computer network upgrades; transportation-related items such as boats, all-terrain vehicles , and dirt bikes; and building equipment and services such as HVAC upgrades, sewer system upgrades, and janitorial services,” the report stated.

Customs and Border Protection is working to itemize all the expenses in question and correct the accounts, agency spokesman Jim Burns said in a statement.“We emphasize that all of CBP’s obligations were for lawful objects related to agency operations and the care of those in our custody; the violations identified are technical in nature and prompt remedial action will be taken,” the statement said.

Look a little harder and you will see even greater mismanagement by Democrat leaders.

Good, the illegals should eat dirt.

I am so sick of the dehumanisation of people, to either: illegally save money or divert money from those who NEED, it to spend on CRAP!

I bet they’re all Christians

mehdirhasan Yeah, CBP are cops too. DefundThePolice

Well at least they know the truth.

mehdirhasan What is 'immigrant care' ?

mehdirhasan That is a disgrace!! Instead of helping Innocent people living in horrible conditions on American soil, they spend American TAX dollars on boats, dirt bikes and dog food!!! The people in control have to held accountable!!

Can’t say I’m surprised they did this. They seem the kind who fly a confederate flag on the back of their pick-up truck.

mehdirhasan This is really unacceptable. Trump is the worst person in the world. His administration and the GOP that turn away from this crap are unbelievable. If there is a hell below they’re all going to go.

Looting.

mehdirhasan Every American should go through immigration once as a non American, then they’ll understand what it’s like to be treated like garbage.

AlgiersLady did you get upset about something?

mehdirhasan Shame

JoshMankiewicz And these items went where or to whom exactly once purchased? I’m assuming you asked that but it’s not clear from the article.

Sounds like a perfect recipe for a hillbilly

Beautiful... I wonder if I'm an illegal im Mexico or central America they Would Give A Fuck about me... Illegals deserve ZERO!!!! Not a single penny!!!

Wtf? Take the money from their bank accounts and fire all of them.

This is horrific!

Assholes

Crooks, just like cops.

Not a surprise that immigration police who don't mind putting humans in cages would also steal their money for food and health care. That is another form of police brutality. wft2020 BorderPatrol KidsInCages familyseparation inhumane PoliceBrutalityPandemic

Did Border Patrol agents ever get reimbursed for providing food, water and diapers to illegal crossers which they paid for out of their own pockets?

CBP officials spent emergency funds on dirt bikes, dog food & boats instead of ' Illegal Alien' supplies.😏 Fixed!👍🤗

Het, dogs gotta eat, too.

They should be prosecuted. But the all Customs and Border Protection officials shouldn't be targeted for dissolution and defunding. I feel like I have to say that because....well there's no common sense any longer.

Follow the money and make them pay it all back. They should lose their jobs and do jail time.

This is why children had no toothbrushes, soap and blankets? Confiscate those ATV’s and bikes!

Great 👍🏼

The widespread corruption that the dangerous and inept occupant of the WH promotes and the party of Hypocrites and Cowards enables

Shameful. 😡

🤬 the abject corruption of this administration will be the focus of first the courts and then the history books

AMERICANS ARE HOMELESS AND BROKE! ENOUGH! GO HOME 🏡
