Demand Accountability for Disaster Management Group’s Role in Migrant Camps

The Trump administration is spending over $1.2 billion to build a migrant detention camp at Fort Bliss, Texas. This project is led by Disaster Management Group, owned by Nathan Albers—a man whose previous company pleaded guilty to hiring and hiding undocumented workers. It is shocking that a firm with this history is receiving public funds to oversee large-scale immigration enforcement (ProPublica, July 2025). The waste and hypocrisy are staggering. America is paying to imprison people while rewarding a contractor that once broke the very laws it now helps enforce. Former Department of Homeland Security official Scott Shuchart called it “ironic” and deeply troubling that someone with this record would profit from the government’s mass detention machine (Truthout, July 2025). Meanwhile, ICE is expanding detention facilities to hold 100,000 people nationwide under Trump’s agenda. Oversight is limited, checks and balances missing and conflicts of interest aren’t vetted. We demand accountability. Stop awarding contracts to individuals with records of labor violations. Launch hearings into how these procurement decisions are made. Redirect taxpayer dollars toward humane and legal immigration solutions. We refuse to fund a system that ignores the law and punishes the vulnerable.
