I'd appreciate it if journalists would press Mayor Pete a little bit more on what he did for McKinsey. Because chances are, it was really creepy.

MCKINSEY: THE PROBLEM WITH ICE IS THAT IT TREATS CAPTIVES TOO HUMANELY

BY SCOTT LEMIEUX / ON DECEMBER 3, 2019 / AT 7:12 PM / IN GENERAL

No matter how evil you think our Ivy League consultancy overlords are, somehow they’re always even worse:

ICE quickly redirected McKinsey toward helping the agency figure out how to execute the White House’s clampdown on illegal immigration.

But the money-saving recommendations the consultants came up with made some career ICE workers uncomfortable. They proposed cuts in spending on food for migrants, as well as on medical care and supervision of detainees, according to interviews with people who worked on the project for both ICE and McKinsey and 1,500 pages of documents obtained from the agency after ProPublica filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act.

McKinsey’s team also looked for ways to accelerate the deportation process, provoking worries among some ICE staff members that the recommendations risked short-circuiting due-process protections for migrants fighting removal from the United States. The consultants, three people who worked on the project said, seemed focused solely on cutting costs and speeding up deportations — actions whose success could be measured in numbers — with little acknowledgment that these policies affected thousands of human beings.

In what one former official described as “heated meetings” with McKinsey consultants, agency staff members questioned whether saving pennies on food and medical care for detainees justified the potential human cost.

Imagine how monstrous you have to be to cause people in Donald Trump’s immigration Gestapo to think your ideas are too cruel to be implemented. Our best and brightest!
