Controversial ICE Camp Medic Busted Defrauding Disabled Vets

Victoria Sunday/Daily Beast/PunchUpThe medical contractor overseeing healthcare at the nation’s biggest immigration detention site has agreed to pay 1.8 million to settle claims it defrauded a program for disabled veterans, the Daily Beast’s sister Substack PunchUp reports. Loyal Source Government Services and another contractor, Officium Global, will jointly pay more than 3.6 million to settle False Claims Act and Contract Disputes Act allegations.

Whistleblower Jeremy Lavin, who filed suit for the government, stands to pocket over 680,000. Loyal Source still supplies medical staff at Camp East Montana, the El Paso, Texas, site where three people are known to have died. The watchdog Project On Government Oversight found the firm has racked up 22 lawsuits since 2017 and more than 5.2 million in settlements.*For the full article and many more scoops, head over to PunchUp.Read more at The Daily Beast.
