Border Protection contractor cuts most jobs at 5 Texas migrant camps

A contractor providing staffing for five Customs and Border Protection migrant camps along the southern border has laid off 666 people, apparently in response to a continuing decline in illegal border crossings.

LUKE Holdings Inc. of Rockledge, Fla., dismissed employees from sites in Del Rio, Donna, Eagle Pass, Laredo and El Paso, according to a notice Wednesday to the Texas Workforce Commission.

Their last day was Feb. 27, when workers received letters from the company saying the federal government had mandated the immediate firings as part of a contract modification.

I'm sure many of the 666 employees at these camps were Trump voters! The irony! They voted for him because of their jobs. Now they're without a job!
