Description
Description | The project involves converting warehouses in Upper Bern Township, Berks County, and Tremont, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania into immigrant detention facilities for ICE. The project has been stalled due to administrative orders issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that bar the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from connecting to water or sewer and occupying the properties until compliance with state environmental laws is met. The administrative process and appeals could take years to resolve. |
