Active government convergence in this signal’s sector right now.

Over the last 90 days, 142 separate government actions have converged on Border / Immigration Enforcement. What that means: federal dollars are already moving — agencies are soliciting bids and awarding contracts, not just talking, and legislation and executive action are building the policy and funding tailwind behind it. When independent channels move together like this — 95 federal contracts, 26 procurement notices, 17 bills and 4 executive actions — it's the clearest early tell that Washington is committing to border / immigration enforcement, the kind of build-up that reshapes the sector well before it's obvious in the headlines.
