What is the controversy around Steve Demetriou?
The famous couple has received backlash online from Reddit threads to Instagram and TikTok videos criticizing Demetriou’s presence at their nuptials, but the naysayers’ frustration seems to be aimed at the politician’s father who shares the same name.
The elder Demetriou serves as the executive chair at Amentum, an engineering and technology company in Dallas, according to his LinkedIn. He also serves on FirstEnergy’s board of directors.
What has grabbed fans’ attention is that Amentum Services was granted a $452.9 billion U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement contract by the federal government in March, according to USA Spending. A description of the contract states Amentum is responsible for providing “detention, transportation and medical services at the Camp East Montana Temporary Detention Center in El Paso, TX.”
The Camp East Montana ICE detention facility has a reputation of being wrought with issues from “mismanagement, medical neglect and dangerous living conditions” prompting investigative reports from ProPublica, NPR and The Guardian.
