So a camp near the westernmost point of Texas is named East Montana. East Montana is also near an international border, and therefore is a "reasonable" place to have an ICE camp. Also, ice and camps. None of this is confusing.

mothballed

I'm no fan of ICE or immigration controls, but presume I was. Wouldn't unvaccinated people and outbreaks strengthen my case for ICE and dumping these people into quarantined facilities? Stopping people unvaccinated from deadly disease from entering the country, and then placing them in facilities where they can be deported (if found in country), seems to be one of the more defensible uses of ICE, even if not one I agree with. If there are measles outbreaks in these facilities, it would seem it means ICE is doing their job.
