The Justice Department is finally stepping in to investigate yet another Biden-era boondoggle: an empty migrant facility in Pecos, Texas, that has been raking in a jaw-dropping $18 million per month from taxpayers.

And just like most shady government deals, this one leads straight back to a former Biden transition team member who conveniently brokered the contract, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

This eye-popping revelation comes courtesy of Elon Musk’s DOGE, which exposed how the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had been funneling millions into a facility that housed exactly zero migrants since March 2024.

Even more damning, the deal was orchestrated by a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employee turned Biden insider.

The numbers don’t lie. Thanks to this backdoor deal, the organization at the center of the scandal—Family Endeavors—saw its financial standing explode.

In 2020, the group held just $8.3 million in assets. By 2023, after securing its no-bid contract, that number ballooned to a staggering $520.4 million. And while American taxpayers footed the bill, the facility remained vacant.

Thankfully, with national licensed migrant facility occupancy plummeting below 20%, the HHS was forced to cut the contract, saving Americans more than $215 million annually. But the damage had already been done.

As reported by Project Veritas and America First Legal, former Biden transition official Andrew Lorenzen-Strait played a pivotal role in engineering this taxpayer-funded racket.

Undercover footage captured him openly discussing how he helped Family Endeavors land lucrative, no-bid immigration contracts with HHS.

Not long after hiring Lorenzen-Strait, Family Endeavors struck gold, securing a staggering $530 million contract from HHS. And that wasn’t all—DHS and ICE followed suit, dishing out another $87 million in contracts.

Not bad for an organization that, before its Biden-connected hire, had exactly zero government contracts.

The Pecos migrant facility was no stranger to controversy. It had been shut down previously due to reports of deplorable living conditions.

Housing primarily teenagers and unaccompanied minors, the facility was thrust back into the spotlight in late 2023 when CBS revealed the Biden administration had quietly reopened it due to an influx of illegal border crossings.

HHS insiders, speaking anonymously, admitted the facility was reactivated after traditional shelters ran out of space. Meanwhile, mainstream media outlets were content to downplay the scandal, choosing instead to shield the administration from scrutiny.
