Watchdog finds millions of dollars wasted at Texas detention center
A Government Accountability Office report found that Camp East Montana, an immigrant detention center in Texas, wasted millions in federal funds and failed to meet basic detention standards. The facility, built on a military base, faced issues including tuberculosis cases, detainee deaths, and a lawsuit over inhumane conditions. A $1.3 billion contract for the site led to significant financial waste, including payments for services during periods with no detainees.
