DHS-Navy detention contract ceiling doubled to $20 billion

The WEXMAC Territorial Integrity of the United States contract ceiling was raised from $10 billion to $20 billion on September 30, 2025, according to contract records later disclosed through reporting and Senate oversight requests. The increase was made administratively without public announcement, approximately 83 days after the contract's initial $10 billion launch. The expansion signaled that DHS and the Pentagon anticipated the detention construction program would require substantially more funding than initially disclosed.
