El Paso, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) – The Department of Homeland Security is looking to fulfill an order for thousands of pairs of men’s underwear – with hundreds of the requested men’s briefs in the 5X and 6X-large sizes.

solicitation posted earlier this month by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement office seeks thousands of “White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs” ranging from mediums to hundreds of 6X-large pairs of the underwear.  

ICE facilities have seen a recent influx of detained immigrants awaiting deportation, during which time, the detention facilities require such basic items for the detained aliens, Breitbart reported. The ICE orders for the underwear are not unusual for the immigration detention facilities, according to ICE officials.

“This [request for quote] is a normal solicitation for routinely procured items needed at ICE-owned detention facilities around the country,” an ICE spokesperson explained to Breitbart News on Monday. “At ICE-owned detention facilities, the agency is required to provide basic necessities in order to feed and clothe detained aliens.”

The solicitation placed through Federal Business Opportunities cites that the large order – and large underwear – are bound for El Paso, Texas.

But such clothing orders may likely be needed in similar alien detention facilities across the southwestern U.S.

Earlier this month, more than 1,000 unaccompanied Central American children crowded into a Border Patrol facility in Nogales, Ariz. The flood of Central American minors has increased dramatically since last year, sparking what President Barack Obama called an “urgent humanitarian situation” near southwestern U.S. borders.

According to Green Valley News, the children are given medical exams, background checks, food, clothing and showers in the period before they are deported. However, a Border Patrol spokesman said that the agency is not accepting clothing or toy donations because there is not enough staff to inspect the items for cleanliness or safety.

State Sen. Andrea Dalessandro, D-Sahuarita, said there is not enough space in the crowded holding facilities to handle donations of clothing.

DHS data on arrested unaccompanied minors shows that since Oct. 1, there have been 11,577 from Mexico, 13,282 from Honduras and 11,479 from Guatemala. There have been 9,850 from Salvador.

  1. I’ll donate some and make them feel at home. Eat lots of burritos and nachos covered in hot sauce first until Montezuma has his revenge on me. Then I’ll give, not a moment before.

  2. Unfrigginbelievable! Why doesn’t the government just purchase them themselves since they abuse all our taxpayer money anyways? What difference does it make?

    Oh that’s right! Gotta keep that guilty “think of the children” propaganda going.

    1. And why would “children” from Central America need 5 XL or 6 XL-sized skivvies, anyway? From the pictures I have seen of these “kids” taken in the “detention centers,” they look thin or normal weight.

      Maybe the XL drawers are really for the lard a$$es who call themselves law enforcement or DHS. They may well need them if they shart themselves when the citizens finally decide to take their country back!

  3. Are they all crippled with fingers cut off that they can’t wash out the ones they came with??? Bet they all got lice.

    1. Just take off the dirty ones put them on backwards, then turn them inside out put them on with the hole in the front, then when they get dirty turn them around and put them on backwards. There ya go 4 weeks ware on one pair of skivvies.
      Works for undershirts and wife beater shirts too

  4. or they dont wear any….I know of people that dont like me and my best friend LOL
    Seriously.

    Save a lot of money really.

    1. commando is my preference as well. It makes taking a leak faster which saves me time AND money(laundry)

  5. Homeland Security it’s a shitty job but you created the mess now you fix it. Jeh Johnson, It may be shi* to some people but now it’s your bread and butter. (job)

  6. There’s no telling what the sick bastards at DHS are going to do with someone’s underwear. They’ll probably be the big attraction at one of their pervert parties.

    1. Back in D.C., they’ll be lining up in droves to bid on that used underwear for “sniffing purposes!” Yes people, there are those manifesting a disorder in which they stick their nose where it don’t belong and they get off on it. Sounds like your average government stooge to me!

  7. “…ranging from mediums to hundreds of 6X-large pairs of the underwear.”

    6 X ??????????????????????????????????????????????

    Make ready the harpoons.

  8. So the mormons have “magic underwear”.

    Perhaps they can donate some and these illegals and it will “miracle” their asses home.

  9. “with hundreds of the requested men’s briefs in the 5X and 6X-large sizes.”

    Seriously? Oh yea, they are definitely starving. They must be suffering about as much as Lil’ Kim in North Korea.

  10. I wonder if they sent the dirty undies to Taco Bell. Hmmm You never know what food they might put them in to accent the favors. Be very careful.
