The US Department of Defense has awarded a contract worth USD 1.26 billion to the Virginia-based company Acquisition Logistics LLC to build a sprawling short-term ICE detention center in the Fort Bliss army base in El Paso, Texas. The center is set to have a capacity of 5,000 detainees which would make it the largest immigrant detention center in the country.

The facility, much like the newly-minted “Alligator Alcatraz”, will be composed entirely of tents and temporary structures, raising the alarm about potential conditions of detention in the scorching dry heat of western Texas.
