Inside America's Largest ICE Camp

Built in a matter of weeks on the Fort Bliss military base in Texas, Camp East Montana has become the nation’s largest immigrant detention center, housing thousands of people within its sprawling tent complex. In a recent New Yorker investigation, Jonathan Blitzer documents inadequate medical care, prolonged isolation and families suddenly separated after routine ICE appointments or traffic stops. We talk to Blitzer about how Camp East Montana became the centerpiece of the Trump administration’s expanded detention system—and what it reveals about the human cost of mass immigration enforcement.
