Summary
A damning government report exposes how Camp East Montana’s rushed construction and opening led to millions wasted and critical safety failures — from paying for meals before anyone was housed to hiring inexperienced contractors. The Army handed off a billion-dollar contract to ICE, who moved detainees in before inspections were complete, raising alarms over humane treatment and security. The GAO now demands ICE enforce inspections before occupancy and adopt cost-saving measures like tiered meal pricing to save tens of millions — though blame remains contested between agencies.
