Summary
DOGE announced on Monday the cancellation of several government contracts, claiming total savings of $16 billion.
However, nearly half of this amount was attributed to an $8 billion contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that, upon review, was actually valued at $8 million.
Additionally, a larger reported savings figure of $55 billion lacked detailed documentation.
The ICE contract in question, with D&G Support Services, was intended to provide program and technical support for ICE’s Office of Diversity and Civil Rights.
Yeah, I’m not surprised based on some of my interactions with purported “business geniuses”, but it is quite sad just how utterly stupid people are that manage to have wealth and get taken in by a mere show of unearned confidence.
