Summary
Investigative journalist René Kladzyk of POGO (Project on Government Oversight) joins host John Carlos Frey to expose the troubling track record of Loyal Source Government Services, a private medical contractor operating inside ICE detention facilities — most notably Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Kladzyk details how Loyal Source has faced years of documented allegations: medical neglect, chronic understaffing, labor violations, deaths under their care, and failures to maintain basic medical records — yet has seen a 1,000% increase in federal contracts, reaching nearly $2 billion in fiscal year 2026. https://www.pogo.org/investigates/troubled-ice-medical-provider-remains-at-camp-east-montana-despite-outcry https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").
