Migrant Detention Camp Contract Awarded to Firm with Troubled Past | JQJO

A new $1.2 billion contract to build a massive migrant detention camp at Fort Bliss has been awarded by the Department of Defense. A subcontractor, Disaster Management Group, owned by Nathan Albers, a Republican donor with ties to Mar-a-Lago, is involved. Albers' previous company, TentLogix, pleaded guilty to hiring undocumented workers. This raises concerns given Disaster Management's recent labor law violations and its lobbying on immigration issues. The facility, expected to hold 5,000 people, is part of the administration's increased deportation plans.
