  8. How a Tiny, Inexperienced Firm Landed a $1.3 Billion #Detention Deal To hold 5,000 human beings.

    by Samantha Michaels, November+December 2025 Issue

    Excerpt: "When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract this summer to build and operate a new tent city #detention center in #Texas, it made headlines, and not just because the facility, located at the #FortBliss Army base, was expected to be the biggest of its kind in the country. The company that won the job, #AcquisitionLogistics, was so small it operated out of a single-family home in #RichmondVA. Almost nobody had heard of it. 'A random house…just won $1.26 billion from #ICE,' wrote the New Republic.

    "Whereas many companies with ICE contracts had long histories with immigrant detention, including private prison giants such as GEO Group, Acquisition Logistics had no prior experience in incarceration. Previously, its biggest federal contract was $16 million, and CEO #KenWagner is circling retirement at 77. Over the summer, the company’s website was inaccessible to the public, with the header 'Site maintenance in progress.' Archived screenshots showed the firm specializes in supply chain management. Could it safely operate a 5,000-bed detention facility?"

    Hey y’all, keep an eye on the Texas Mexico border. Weird things are afoot at the Circle K.

    So, first the government announced, with no warning to airlines or local authorities, that they were closing the El Paso airport for 10 days. That’s a big deal, El Paso is the 23rd largest city in the country, and most travel from the lower states going west transits through El Paso.

    They claimed it was because of a drone invasion from Mexico. Sure, Jan.

    Then the government lifted the close, but still can’t explain it. Here’s the thing, the battalion who trains with drones is at #FortBliss & its airfield, #biggsarmyairfield near El Paso.

    Edit: It's now appearing that the Army was testing lasers that could have downed an airliner? Maybe? Nobody in this regime would know the truth if it bit them.

    Also edit: I had the wrong Fort. It's Bliss, not Hood.
    Either way, it’s a bad look.

  28. “A Cuban migrant held in solitary confinement at an immigration detention facility in Texas died after guards held him down and he stopped breathing, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday that ruled the death a homicide.”

    “Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the 55-year-old father of four was attempting suicide and the staff tried to save him.”

    “But a witness told The Associated Press last week that Lunas Campos was handcuffed as at least five guards held him down and one put an arm around his neck and squeezed until he was unconscious.”

  46. The medical examiner in El Paso, Texas, has ruled that Geraldo Lunas Campos's death was, in fact, a homicide. Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 at the Camp East Montana site at Fort Bliss in El Paso. He's the one who ICE claimed was trying to commit suicide, so the staff at the facility restrained and ultimately killed him to stop him from killing himself. So even if he did want to commit suicide, that would only mean that he died anyway, but with more pain, less agency, and less dignity.

    I'm curious what the consequences will be for the medical examiner, but regardless, I do know that there's no way this administration is going to take action to stop people from dying at disproportionate rates at Camp East Montana unless they're somehow forced to. Maybe the courts can do that, but it's just as likely that they can't or, if they can, that it won't be until after the camp has claimed even more lives.
