Back on the podcast is journalist, Nick Schwellenbach. He's a Senior Investigator at Pogo Investigates, the news reporting division of the Project on Government Oversight.

John Carlos Frey and Nick discuss a recent article Nick coauthored entitled Ice, Inc. The Top Companies Profiting from Trump's Immigration Crackdown.

They discuss the companies most closely associated with the massive deportation machine and their lobbying efforts to get a bigger and bigger piece of the contract pie. Companies such as Palantir, CSI Aviation, Geo Group, Core Civic and Acquisition Logistics have been awarded massive contracts to implement the deportations. They also lobby and donate millions to political campaigns and PACs.
