The Trump administration is reportedly planning to close the controversial Camp East Montana immigration jail in Texas, less than eight months after it opened. The facility, part of Fort Bliss, has faced criticism for harsh conditions and alleged mistreatment of detainees. An internal ICE memo reportedly outlines plans to terminate a $1.2 billion contract with Acquisition Logistics LLC, the private company running the jail. The facility has been under scrutiny following the deaths of three detainees and a measles outbreak that quarantined over a dozen individuals. While DHS stated no final decision has been made, they are reviewing the facility to ensure it meets standards.
