Security firm linked to ICE crackdown in US reports UK revenue slump after asylum centre contract ends

A private security company, Management & Training Corporation (MTC), linked to U.S. immigration enforcement agencies, reported a decline in UK revenues after losing a contract to manage an asylum center in Kent. The contract termination led to a £1.6 million loss for MTC UK in 2025, down from a £1.3 million profit in 2024. However, MTC's joint venture, MTC Definitive, secured a new £462 million contract for processing migrants arriving by boat, potentially extending to £539 million over ten years. The contract includes oversight of both Manston and Dover sites. The award is under legal challenge by Mitie, alleging conflicts of interest due to MTC's prior involvement with Manston. The Home Office dismissed the claims as unfounded.
