Update: ICE has switched contractors at Camp East Montana and said the facility will stay open: wapo.st/415gawR
I corrected my earlier story, which incorrectly said a document showed ICE was taking steps to close CEM. Actually, the document only said ICE planned to terminate contract.

Camp East Montana was supposed to be the Trump administration's model for a new breed of large-scale, makeshift immigrant detention centers. Eight tumultuous months, 60 violations and three deaths later, ICE is preparing to close it. New from me: t.co/jOIIRAMJCo
Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.
