McKinsey designed ICE's gulags, recommending minimal food, medical care and supervision

Obama brought McKinsey and Co, the giant management consulting firm, into ICE to effect an "organizational transformation," so they were already in place when Trump took office, and as Trump pivoted to concentration camps, McKinsey had some suggestions to save money: cut back on food, medicine and supervision.

Propublica sued the US government and obtained 1,500 pages' worth of McKinsey/ICE memos thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. They document how McKinsey's sole focus was lowering costs and accellerating deportations, even if it meant inhumane conditions and gross miscarriages of justice, including some that certainly sent some asylum seekers to their deaths.

One official Propublica spoke to said that ICE's senior management found the suggestions inhumane, and argued against them, only to be shouted down by the McKinsey people. McKinsey drafted its own federal consulting contract -- ghostwriting it for ICE -- and cut themselves in for an additional $2.2m (they made more than $20m off the contract).

In 2018, Kevin Sneader -- McKinsey's global managing partner -- sent out a memo to all staff in which he lied about the work the firm had done with ICE, falsely claiming that the firm was not involved in developing immigration policies and that it would not "under any circumstances, engage in work, anywhere in the world, that advances or assists policies that are at odds with our values."
