A federal watchdog criticized the Trump administration for how it managed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas, after longstanding humanitarian concerns about its operations.
The Government Accountability Office released a report on Camp East Montana that indicated multiple management failures, including opening the facility on a hasty timeline and hiring an inexperienced contractor. Such decisions resulted in “millions of dollars of waste” on meals and other operations at the country’s largest ICE center, triggered “serious performance and oversight challenges,” and resulted in a facility that did not meet key detention standards, “risking the safety and security of detained noncitizens and staff,” according to the GAO.
