EL PASO, TX — The U.S. government is constructing a massive detention facility in West Texas capable of holding up to 5,000 individuals, according to federal contract announcements.
This project significantly expands the Trump administration’s capacity to detain immigrants as part of its broader deportation campaign.
A Pentagon announcement on Monday revealed that Acquisition Logistics, a Virginia-based company, received a $232 million dollar contract funded by the Army to build the new facility, which will house single adult immigrants.
The new Texas facility will be located in El Paso, near Fort Bliss, a large U.S. Army base that spans parts of Texas and New Mexico.
