A senior official who handled immigration policy on President Joe Biden’s transition team was caught on video bragging about how he used the border crisis to help unqualified organizations secure billions of dollars in noncompete federal contracts to detain immigrant children and adults.

"It's been a boom for my business," said Andrew Lorenzen-Strait during one of several recorded conversations with Project Veritas, a conservative nonprofit group.Lorenzen-Strait was a child welfare attorney who once oversaw detention at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement before taking top slots in Biden's Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services transition teams.

Endeavors had never received even a seven-figure contract nor sheltered immigrants and has been awarded $2.1 billion from the Biden administration since 2021. "I'm not," Lorenzen-Strait said."The current administration’s basically outsourcing interior care. And they’re not doing any of the things they proposed like FEMA reimbursements."

"The person I represented did not have the acumen and the ability to win in a competitive right. It was awarded because of patronage," Lorenzen-Strait said during one of the Project Veritas conversations.
