The United States is constructing its largest migrant detention facility at Fort Bliss in Texas, initially designed to accommodate 1,000 migrants, with plans for expansion to 5,000 beds. Named Camp East Montana, this facility is characterized by short-term, tent-like housing and will become the largest federal detention center in the nation. Although sited on a military base, oversight of the detainees will be the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security. This initiative aligns with the Trump administration's heightened focus on immigration enforcement and detention.
