Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NPR reported allegations that Stephen Miller, a senior White House official, favored harsh conditions for migrants held in US detention facilities. A government contractor claimed his company proposed more humane alternatives, such as camps in Texas modeled on Federal Emergency Management Agency facilities, but the administration rejected these claims. The White House strongly disputed the account.
