DOGE says Texas nonprofit with former Biden transition member reaped millions operating empty facility
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | Feb 26, 2025

The Department of Health and Human Services has terminated a contract with a nonprofit that was paid millions each month to operate a Texas overflow facility that sat empty, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

In a social media post, DOGE said a former U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021, where they helped the organization secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.

"As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023, the post states.

Since March 2024, HHS has paid $18 million per month to keep a facility in Pecos, Texas, used for housing for unaccompanied migrant children that was previously at the center of reports of poor conditions.

The payments continued, despite the facility being empty, DOGE said.

"With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually," the post on X states.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the San Antonio-based Endeavors.

A scratch on the surface of the illegal alien invasion grift. Catholic Charities. Lutheran Services. All those hotels in New York. Airlines. Billions and billions a month were given out to these cronies.

DOGE summary: An ex ICE employee, a Biden transition team member, joined “Family
Endeavors” in early 2021 to secure a sole-source HHS contract for “overflow housing”.

As a result, “Family Endeavors’” cash and portfolio of
investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.

Since March 2024, Biden’s HHS paid ~$18M/monthly
to keep the Pecos facility open.......despite sitting empty.


With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, Trump’s HHS
was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.

Yeah, we NEVER hear the names of the operators of these scams, the names of the suspects, how they out the scam together, how it operated, where the money was deposited, how many accounts it flowed through…NOTHING!

It really pisses me off that there is zero audit of these expenditures and seemingly no auditable trail.

I would not be surprised one bit that the money flowed through Biden’s 20 shell companies used to launder his stolen loot and landed in his account.

...Endeavors is funded by a number of corporate-backed organizations like the Bob Woodruff Foundation, United Way, and the Hispanic Federation — all of which have ties to multinational corporations and the nation’s biggest banks.

The federal contractor also takes taxpayer money through a variety of contracts with the federal government, the state of Texas, and local governments in North Carolina....—— breitbart

San Antonio-based Endeavors...

Speaking of San Antonio:

‘Evil’ super gang seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new terrifying show of strength

Bloodthirsty gang Tren de Aragua moves HQ to outskirts of El Paso in Texas

These people are evil and mostly government.

"The discovery of human trafficking within facilities managed by organizations like Family Endeavors profoundly alters the narrative surrounding their role in caring for migrant children."

It goes on to name names...

Wild guess: Family Endeavors makes a lot campaign donations to certain politicians. And probably donates to democrat organizations. The DOJ needs to follow the money and report back to us.
