| [FoxNews] Construction began in July at Fort Bliss, Texas, with initial 1,000-bed capacity expected by late August The Department of Defense plans to build the largest federal migrant detention facility in the U.S. to date, at Fort Bliss in Texas, which is expected to have up to 5,000 beds for illegal aliens. Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson announced the project during a press briefing Thursday, stating that construction began in July. "Since then, work has begun for initial detainment capacity of 1,000 illegal aliens with initial operating capacity likely to be achieved by mid to late August," Wilson said. "Once DOD achieves initial stand up, we will finish construction for up to 5,000 beds in the weeks and months ahead." Wilson said the facility will become the largest of its kind in U.S. history, serving what she called "this critical mission: the deportation of illegal aliens." The new facility is being established to support President Donald Trump’s executive order to protect Americans against an invasion. The announcement follows Indiana Gov. Mike Braun’s recent statement that the state will build a facility dubbed the "Speedway Slammer" at the Miami Correctional Center, located between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.
