Our firm is proud to share that immigration lawyer Josh Wildes recently recorded a new video interview with ‘Activista.Media,’ where he discussed the growing concerns surrounding ICE’s emerging “bounty hunger” program—a model that, according to available reports, would link immigration enforcement activities to private, bonus-driven incentives.
During the conversation, Josh examined how shifting federal enforcement responsibilities into a reward-based private sector structure could create serious risks, including:
- Wrongful or overly aggressive targeting of noncitizens
- Erosion of due process and civil-rights protections
- Lack of transparency and oversight in enforcement actions
- A dangerous precedent for future surveillance technologies used against both citizens and noncitizens
Josh emphasized that transforming immigration enforcement into a financially incentivized industry could undermine fundamental constitutional safeguards and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. The discussion also highlighted the need for stronger accountability measures, clearer regulatory boundaries, and public scrutiny of any enforcement model that introduces private profit into federal policing authority.
