A government watchdog report released Thursday details significant financial waste in the expansion of immigrant detention facilities.
The Government Accountability Office found that the Trump administration misspent millions of dollars during its immigration crackdown.
Investigators discovered unused tents and uneaten food among the wasted resources purchased for detention operations.
The GAO report highlights a lack of proper oversight in how funds were allocated for expanding detention capacity.
Millions of taxpayer dollars went toward supplies and infrastructure that were never fully utilized.
The findings raise questions about the management of immigration enforcement budgets during the administration’s crackdown.
The report recommends stricter controls to prevent similar waste in future detention expansion efforts.
