Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is looking to more than double its holding capacity by the end of the year with fresh funds from the approval of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" tax cut and spending bill.
Concretely, The Wall Street Journal detailed that the goal is to take capacity from 40,000 to 100,000 beds by year-end. Most of them would come as large-scale tent facilities at military bases and ICE jails, including a 5,000-bed facility at Fort Bliss, Texas.
