ICE is extending the no-bid contract for Camp East Montana, one of the nation’s largest and most costly detention centers, through September 2027 — potentially costing taxpayers $776 million more on top of the original $452 million award. Despite mounting pressure from lawmakers and human rights groups over documented abuses including beatings, medical neglect, unsanitary conditions, and three detainee deaths, ICE claims relocating over 2,000 detainees is logistically impossible and that ending the contract could endanger lives. Critics, including Human Rights Watch and ACLU, condemn the move as a failure to hold contractors accountable and a continuation of a broken system. The current operator, Amentum Services, could pocket over $1.2 billion if the contract is fulfilled, raising urgent questions about accountability, waste, and the human cost of indefinite detention.
