El Paso, Texas (CBS HOUSTON) The Department of Homeland Security is looking to fulfill an order for thousands of pairs of mens underwear with hundreds of the requested mens briefs in the 5X and 6X-large sizes.
A solicitation posted earlier this month by the Immigration & Customs Enforcement office seeks thousands of White 100% Cotton Mens 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.
I can't find data on 3XL and larger, but 18.9% of men wear a larger size brief than 2XL.

Which begs the question:
What are they gonna do with the old ones?...................
Those sizes you want in black - they hide tubby boy and tubby girl skid marks - ( portraits of Obama)
5X/6X...I think it obvious they are not starving in South America.
If I were to go shopping for 5X and 6X sizes I wouldn’t know where to even begin..............................
It must be all that cheap sugar they buy at world market prices, unlike our domestic where we pay double or triple that amount...................
Obama requested these kids come to overcome the border guards and our border security, so let’s force him to personally cough up the money...from his own millions stored offshore.
This whole humanitarian disaster has VJ’s fingerprints all over it..................
“Be careful. There are places you could be ‘South of the Rio Grande’ and still be in the US!................”
Thanks, I’ll retract that offer.
But I’m still on to contribute to a one-way plane ticket to send Obummer back to his homeland of Kenya. Maybe his brother who lives in the 6 X 6 foot hut can add on a lean-to for him.
Sounds like Hillary could have another tax deduction with some of Stains old drawers....
I’m sure she could use the money because they “aren’t really well off”.

Too many burritos................
Looks like when their "impoverished" parents paid $8000 per child to get them across the border, their was no money left for undies (cackle).
