In a post made to X on March 4th, 2025, LibsOfTikTok highlighted a local news report on a major fraud operation. The post not only highlighted the fraud, but called for criminal prosecutions. The Department of Health and Human Services terminated a contract with Family Endeavors, an NGO that operated government facilities. Investigators determined that the NGO raked in hundreds of millions in funding for “horticulture therapy” and other questionable services.
“DOGE canceled a $215 million contract for a Texas nonprofit which operated a housing facility for migrants. The housing facility has been sitting empty for months. An administrator of the nonprofit was a Biden and ICE official. I don’t just want cancellations. I want prosecutions for corruption and fraud,” the post stated, to a massive positive reaction.
“A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities,” DOGE reported. ” As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023. Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.”
“Elon Musk’s department of government efficiency, or Doge, has targeted a nonprofit based here in San Antonio, saying its contract for $215 million a year is canceled. News 4 San Antonio, Waste Watch reporter Jay Avila has this story live from the content center,” the report began.”In a post on X, Doge said the Department of Health and Human Services had terminated a contract paying Family Endeavors $18 million a month to operate an empty facility in West Texas.”
“The organization is also known as endeavors, and you may have seen its administrative headquarters and Wellness Center on de Zavala Road, where it has a cluster of buildings and storefronts. Doge focused on an overflow housing facility for migrant families,” they added. ” Endeavors operates in PECOS, Texas, which Doge says has been sitting empty while Endeavors has been receiving the $18 million per month.”
“Homeland Security reposted Doge ex post tagging US Attorney Ed Martin with the words, ‘please investigate’, to which Martin responded. ‘Duly noted, we are on it.’ I went to the Endeavors San Antonio headquarters today to get a comment from the organization, they responded late this afternoon by email,” the segment continued.
Despite the mounting evidence, Endeavors maintains their innocence. “‘Endeavors was responsible for maintaining operational readiness at the … shelter, ensuring the ability to scale from cold status operationally ready, but not actively serving children to full use of 3000 beds as needed,” they quoted. “‘ Decisions regarding facility use and migrant sheltering locations were made by the federal government, not endeavors.'”
