Trump Administration Plans to Use Military Bases for Immigrant Detention

The Trump administration is advancing plans to use military sites across the United States for the detention of undocumented immigrants. Reports indicate that Fort Bliss in Texas is set to serve as a major deportation hub, potentially housing up to 10,000 immigrants. Additionally, the administration is considering other military locations, including Hill Air Force Base in Utah and military bases in New Jersey and Oklahoma, to facilitate these operations. A detailed memo from the Department of Homeland Security outlines strategies for detaining migrants at several military bases, raising concerns about the potential impact on local communities and the overall immigration policy.
