U.S. Customs and Border Protection is seeking to hire private investigators to track down deported immigrants and others who have left the United States and press them to pay fines the government says they owe, WIRED reported. The program, called Tracing and Payment Recovery Services and capped at $9 million over two years, covers Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala and calls for "commercial data verification and physical observation services" to confirm where each person lives, with photographs of the home listed as acceptable evidence along with records such as utility bills and employment files. DHS has assessed more than $84 billion in civil immigration fines, including failure-to-depart penalties that can accumulate to hundreds of thousands of dollars per person. As of July, an estimated 66,387 people who had been removed carried unpaid CBP fines, and existing debt-collection contractors had not located a single person outside the U.S.
