US EditionICE plans call center to track unaccompanied migrant children, other immigration offenders
The call center in Nashville will manage up to 7,000 daily calls to track unaccompanied migrant children as part of increased enforcement under the Trump administration.
- On Nov 4, a contracting document showed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans a call centre to track unaccompanied migrant children, part of a Trump administration effort to find and deport minors.
- The Trump administration began in February a push to find and deport unaccompanied children and expanded programme 287 with more than 1,100 participating state and local law enforcement agencies.
- The contracting document describes the centre as feeding information from state and local police to federal authorities and handling 6,000-7,000 calls per day.
- The policy has immediate enforcement consequences, illustrated by attempts to deport dozens of Guatemalan children despite active US immigration cases, while critics warn partnerships may erode trust in immigrant communities.
- Looking at the local tie, the contracting document names Nashville as the call-centre location and notes CoreCivic, a private contractor, is headquartered there; DHS, ICE and CoreCivic did not immediately comment.
