The Trump administration is ramping up plans to detain undocumented immigrants at military sites across the United States, an expansion of the White House’s efforts to use war resources to offset the president’s promised mass deportations.

President Trump’s team is unveiling a deportation center at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Texas, that can hold up to 10,000 undocumented immigrants as they go through the deportation process, according to three officials familiar with the plan.

Fort Bliss would serve as a style since management aims to expand more detention services in army sites throughout the country, from Utah to the domain close to the Niagara cataracts, to involve thousands more than other people and compensate for the Lack of dominance in immigration and customs compliance services, authorities said. They talked about anonymity to talk about the main points of a plan that is still in their early stages and has not yet been completed.
