Noem’s Multi-Million Dollar Contract to Company Accused of People Smuggling Sparks Outrage
SLSCO, a significant Republican donor, faced accusations in a lawsuit filed by two former security contractors. These contractors alleged that the company engaged in human and weapons smuggling by bringing Mexican nationals into the U.S. as workers and armed guards. The lawsuit detailed discoveries of illegal migrant labor and armed Mexican guards at border wall sites, including a firefight involving these guards. When the contractors reported these issues to superiors and subsequently to the FBI, they claim they were retaliated against and fired. While the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs, SLSCO has not publicly commented on the allegations.
