The huge US army base of Fort Bliss at the Texas - Mexico border is poised to become a deportation hub under plans proposed by the Trump administration.

Opponents of any such plan disapprove of the effect it would have on the armed forces and condemned it as treating migrants as if they are “reality TV’s reality TV game of mass deportation”.

Advocates foresee legal and human rights risks.

Military bases should not be used as processing centers for mass deportations, they say.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called Fort Bliss a “perfect place” to house migrants with criminal records.

But Ice has been expanding arrest criteria to include anyone in the US without permission.
