There was little that showed who managed a Fort Bliss shelter for migrant children but a sheet of paper taped to a trailer with three letters in black type: RDI.
The company, Rapid Deployment Inc., had a history of doing business with the U.S. government. It put up base camps for the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. In 2020, it set up quarantine shelters for Health and Human Services, providing meals, laundry service and bus transportation. It supplied mobile morgues to hold the dead.
