(Worthy News) – The Trump administration is moving forward with plans to construct a massive deportation facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, designed to hold up to 10,000 migrants. This site is expected to serve as a central hub in a broader strategy to expedite the detention and removal of individuals who have entered the country illegally.
Touted as the first in a network of mega migrant facilities, it’s part of what Trump calls the “largest deportation program of criminals in American history.” Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll confirmed the site has been approved, with preparations set to begin within days.
“The process of preparing it and getting it ready to be built out will start to occur any day,” Driscoll said. “This is such an incredibly important mission. We believe to keep the American people safe.”
Fort Bliss, located on the U.S.-Mexico border in West Texas, is already being used to fly migrants back to their home countries or third nations.
In the first seven weeks of the Trump administration, 28,319 migrants were deported—about 555 per day, double the weekly average under President Biden. Still, the pace falls far short of Trump’s promise to deport millions.
According to agency data, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency saw arrests of immigrants without criminal records surge by 500% from mid-January to late March. As of March 23, nearly 48,000 immigrants were in custody—well over the agency’s funded capacity of 41,500.
