The Defense Department has planned to construct the largest federal migrant inhibiting facility in the US in Fort Bliss in Texas to date, expecting up to 5,000 beds for illegal aliens.
Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson announced the project during a press briefing on Thursday, stating that the construction began in July.
“Since then, work has begun for the initial custody capacity of 1,000 illegal aliens with initial operational capacity, which is likely to be obtained by the end of August,” Wilson said. “Once the DOD gets the initial stand up, we will finish construction up to 5,000 beds in weeks and months.”
Wilson said that this feature would become the greatest of its kind in American history, which he called “this important mission: the illegal aliens of deportation”.
