§1355 Disposal of privileges at immigrant stations; rentals; retail sale; disposition of receipts

Summary

All exclusive services at U.S. immigrant stations—like exchanging money, moving passengers or baggage, and running food places—must be given to the lowest responsible and capable bidder who is not a non‑citizen. The Attorney General sets the rules. Reasonable rent can be charged for using government property. If the Attorney General decides it saves money or works better, the Service may feed or help non‑citizens itself. No alcoholic drinks may be sold at immigrant stations. Items needed for the health and welfare of detained non‑citizens may be sold at fair prices in Service‑run canteens under Attorney General rules. All rent and sales money must be paid into the U.S. Treasury and credited to the fund used to enforce these immigration rules.
