Newly Flush With Cash, ICE Races to Build Migrant Tent Camps​

GOP megabill allocates $45 billion for detention, giving administration hope it can speed up deportation efforts​

“… So far, the plans have given priority to erecting thousands of tents, or “hardened soft-sided facilities,” as quickly as possible to expand detention capacity quickly at U.S. military bases and adjoining bricks-and-mortar ICE jails, the documents show. Officials said they prefer this approach for now because it allows them to create large numbers of new beds concentrated in a few locations, rather than finding smaller numbers of jail cells scattered around the country.

… The first of the priorities listed in the documents is a 5,000-bed tent city at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, which the government previously awarded and rescinded. It was awarded this past week to a different company, and the plans indicate ICE hopes to have it operational by August. Other priorities include adding beds at the Hudson Correctional Facility in Colorado; Camp Atterbury in Indiana; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.…”

“… Noem told reporters earlier in July that talks were under way with five Republican-led states to build state-run detention centers like the one in Florida, without providing details. The Journal contacted the offices of all 27 Republican governors. None of the 14 that responded said such talks were under way, though several emphasized that they are eager to help the Trump administration in any way they can. A spokesman for West Virginia said the state’s efforts to do that could include “the possibility of creating a type of Alligator Alcatraz here in the Mountain State.”…”

What exactly is the point? There is no reasonable comparison to the approaches taken by Obama and by Trump.

Nor did he invalidate federal immigration law by executive order or bypass fundamental due process rights to deport any undocumented immigrants, whether criminals or not. As you are well aware, ALL presidents have deported undocumented immigrants. Biden deported over 270,000 in 2024 alone. There's a legal way to do it and an illegal way to do it. Only Trump has chosen the illegal way.
