Fort Bliss Army Base in Texas to House Thousands of Migrants Amid Immigration Crisis

The US Army's base in El Paso, Texas, Fort Bliss, has been chosen as a site to detain and house potentially thousands of migrants, according to defense officials. Contracts have already been signed to start the construction of migrant detention facilities on the base. The move comes amid efforts to address the growing number of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border. The exact number of migrants expected to be housed on Fort Bliss is not yet known.
