DOGE claims it saved $8B in one contract, but it was only $8M: NYT

The CEO of D&G Solutions stated that the ICE contract's maximum value was mistakenly posted as $8 billion and later corrected to $8 million after the error was fixed.
Joe Jordan, a former federal government chief acquisition officer, criticized DOGE's claims as 'completely disingenuous,' noting that indefinite delivery contracts may not require full spending to count as savings.
Despite identified errors, DOGE's website continues to state $55 billion in total savings, raising concerns over the accuracy of these figures.
