U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is terminating its $1.2 billion contract for Camp East Montana, a hastily constructed immigration detention facility in El Paso that has been experiencing a measles outbreak, but will remain open, according to reports from the Washington Post.
A document was distributed to ICE staff, the Post reports, indicating the agency was drafting a letter to terminate the facility’s contract at an unspecified date. The Post originally reported that the contract termination signaled the facility would close, but later corrected its reporting on Wednesday.
