ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking βBounty Hunterβ Firms
Immigration and Customs Enforcement lifted a $180 million cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program while guaranteeing multimillion-dollar payouts for private surveillance firms.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from βpilotβ to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

And Andor is excellent, but would come in third. Clone Wars would come in after Return of the Jedi. Mandalorian would come in around The Force Awakens, along with Rebels and Skeleton Crew. Obi-Wan around Phantom Menace. Boba Fett would be just above Rise of Skywalker.
