Telecom CEO Discusses Growth Amid Immigration Policy Changes

Jin Kang, the CEO of telecommunications and IT company WidePoint, discussed the company's ambitions to secure government contracts amid ongoing immigration policy changes. He noted that WidePoint has technology capable of assisting the Department of Homeland Security in tracking cellphones given to immigrants released on bail.

Kang stated, 'We are knocking on the doors of the various political operatives so that they could get us in the door to talk about the potential savings that we could provide.' He emphasized the need for access to officials like Tom Homan, who has a controversial history connected to federal procurement.

Homan, who previously ran a consulting firm that helped companies pursue government contracts, has been accused of creating an impression of corruption due to his past dealings and current role as a federal border czar.

WidePoint's interest in government contracts comes at a time when the company is competing for a contract worth up to $3 billion. This aligns with reports that other companies connected to Homan are benefiting from lucrative contracts related to border security and immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.

The report highlighted the broader implications of immigration policies on the telecommunications sector, particularly in the context of government contracts that can significantly impact business growth.
