Fort Bliss will establish a detention facility at Camp East Montana, initially housing up to 1,000 immigrant detainees with plans to expand to 5,000 beds. This facility is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to utilize military bases for mass deportation actions. The center will serve as a short-term processing center for undocumented immigrants, managed by ICE. A $231.8 million contract has been awarded to Acquisition Logistics LLC for its establishment, despite their lack of prior experience in operating such facilities.
