The United States will temporarily house migrants at two military bases.

The United States will temporarily hold migrants at military bases in New Jersey and Indiana. This was reported on July 18 by Bloomberg with reference to a letter sent to the country's congress.

"According to a letter sent to Congress, the administration of [US President Donald] Trump will temporarily house migrants at military bases in New Jersey and Indiana, which will strengthen the Pentagon's role in the historic expansion of immigration control," the material says.

It is noted that the permission to use the bases for such purposes was signed by United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

"The deployment of people there and at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, will not have a negative impact on military training, operations, combat readiness or other military needs," Bloomberg quotes the text of the letter.

According to the agency, the delegation of the Democratic Party in Congress condemned the use of bases to combat migrants, and called these actions shameful.
