Summary

DOGE initially claimed an $8 billion ICE contract reduction, but the actual figure was 1,000 times less at $8 million.

Despite correcting the ICE figure, DOGE did not adjust its overall $55 billion savings estimate, which lacks clear justification.

The ICE error wasn’t the only issue. CBS News found DOGE had triple-counted a $654.99 million savings on a single contract, overstating savings by as much as $1.96 billion.

Critics argue the errors remain unaddressed because “the propaganda of the numbers is important to them.”
