Watchdog: CBP money meant for food, medical care for migrants was spent on ATVs, dirt bikes
By J. Edward Moreno - 06/11/20 06:21 PM EDT


Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spent some of the $112 million appropriated to the agency for food and medical care for migrants on ATVs, dirt bikes and boats, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released Thursday.

The report came after the House Homeland Security Committee asked the GAO to audit how the agency spent emergency funding allocated to it last year under a border funding bill.

The bill was passed when asylum-seekers were flooding CBP processing centers, where many of them are still being held and have reported poor conditions.

“At the Trump Administration’s request, Congress passed emergency funding legislation last year to help address the humanitarian crisis at the border largely created by this Administration and consistently made worse with repeated politically charged, anti-immigrant policies,” Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.

"Instead of helping migrants and improving conditions on the ground, CBP then broke the law by spending this taxpayer money on things that were not authorized—such as ATVs, dirt bikes, and computer systems,” he added.
