ICE Plans to Keep Camp East Montana Detention Center Open for Another Year
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to keep the Camp East Montana detention facility open for at least another year, extending its contract with Amentum Services Inc. until September 30, 2027. This decision comes despite calls for closure due to alleged human rights abuses. The extension could cost taxpayers an additional $776 million, adding to an initial $452 million contract awarded in March. Reports from Human Rights Watch and the ACLU highlight systemic mistreatment of detainees, including physical abuse and inadequate medical care. The facility currently houses over 2,000 detainees, although numbers have decreased recently.
