U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is significantly expanding its detention footprint, sparking a wave of community resistance and complex labor challenges for private contractors. This expansion forces HR leaders in the government services sector to navigate heightened reputational risks and a tightening market for specialized security and administrative talent.
