ICE: Camp East Montana Will Stay Open, Upgraded
ICE awarded a new contract to upgrade Camp East Montana, enhancing medical care and oversight to maintain the highest detention standards, agency officials said.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas will remain open and is undergoing an operational upgrade.
- ICE officials say the contract shift reflects an effort by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to raise standards amid reports of a draft letter to end a $1.2 billion contract.
- ICE described the operational upgrade, saying the new contractor will provide increased on-site medical care, additional staffing and a 'PRECISE quality assurance surveillance plan', but did not name the contractor or timeline.
- DHS said it is reviewing the facility and contract, and Lauren Bis, DHS spokeswoman, said 'no decisions have been made related to contract extension, termination, or award'.
- Records show the previous contractor, Acquisition Logistics LLC, had little public record and listed a Virginia home as its headquarters, while ICE said the contract was inherited from the Department of War.
