Veronica Escobar's Testimony on Military Resource Misuse at Fort Bliss

Published | Video Starts at 00:43

And as the representative for Fort Bliss, I'd like to highlight some of the concerns that I have which I've shared with you all before. So none of this is new. One of my primary concerns is regarding This administration's unprecedented use of DoD assets for operations that traditionally fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security. In recent months, we've seen this administration use military airlift to deport migrants out of Fort Bliss, an absurdly expensive operation to set up a migrant detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, and a plan to establish migrant detention camps on military installations around the country. (00:43–00:56)
