Summary
A key piece of the Trump administration’s plan to rapidly expand immigration detention capacity “appears to have fallen through,” according to two sources and a government contracting document.
The plan initially targeted Guantánamo Bay but shifted to Fort Bliss after “cost and logistical issues.”
A $3.8 billion contract with Deployed Resources was later “terminated ‘for convenience.’” A DHS official confirmed the termination, adding that “a revised procurement action for Fort Bliss is active and ongoing.”
The canceled contract marks another obstacle in efforts to increase detention amid space shortages and safety requirements for ICE detention centers.
I wonder where the already earmarked funds have already gone.
I’m happy they’re not expanding the death camps, however they’re rushing full tilt towards a fascist kleptocracy.
