The Trump administration is set to open a new immigration detention facility at Fort Bliss, Texas later this week. The facility is expected to eventually become the largest in the country, with space for up to 5,000 people, though it will open with capacity to hold 1,000.
The opening, however, is marked by controversy and comes after months of setbacks, including two investigations into possible improper bidding, two canceled contracts and, most recently, a death on the construction site, as a new report by NBC News explains.
