Additional Military Bases in New Jersey, Indiana Set to Host Migrant Detention Camps

The Department of Homeland Security is planning to house migrants at two new military installations as the Trump administration increasingly turns to the armed forces to bolster its aggressive immigration crackdown.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, colloquially referred to as "Fort Dix," in New Jersey and Camp Atterbury in Indiana, both relatively low-profile installations, have been identified as housing sites. Fort Dix primarily serves as a schooling hub for National Guard and reserve troops, including noncommissioned officer academies. Camp Atterbury is a field training ground primarily for Guard units in the Midwest.
