El Paso, Texas' quintessential border city, has begun its resistance against the implementation of the Camp East Montana immigration detention center, built on the Fort Bliss military base, less than 15 minutes away from downtown. The facility whose first inmates arrived in mid-August is projected to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history, with a capacity for 5,000 people. To this end, the Department of Defense has approved an investment of approximately $1.2 billion for its expansion over the next two years.
