Department of Homeland Security Hires Bounty Hunters to Track Deported Individuals

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is engaging private investigators to locate deported individuals and ensure they pay outstanding fines. This initiative, part of the Tracing and Payment Recovery Services program, is capped at $9 million over two years. The program involves verifying the current residences of deported individuals in countries like Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala through commercial data verification and physical observation.
